The minimum size coded into the app almost ended up filling my attached 1080 display set to 100% scaling.ĭPI scaling support amongst apps is already a can of worms, but it's typically with legacy WFP-based or or older apps, so I was surprised when this UWP app was designed so poorly. It is yet another app that someone seems to have only tested on a 4K 30" screen, as the window was too large to fit on my laptop's screen while set to either 125/150% scaling. I lasted about 20 minutes with FontBase before uninstalling it, with about 10 minutes of that time spent trying to find the window once open. NexusFont will just grind to a halt occasionally, even with the collection being organized into several top-level and even more sub-level folders. As easy as that!Īfter using NexusFont for a few years, I've had to start looking for alternatives that can handle my unhealthy, ever-growing TLC's 'hoarders'- worthy collection of fonts. Like Ctrl+F for search, or Enter for live text editing, or Ctrl+Scroll for changing font size. You can be sure, you'll always use the latest version of FontBase, because guess what? Automatic updates! No need to re-download. That includes ligatures, tabular figures, super and subscript, swashes, old style figures and some more! We support a broad number of OpenType features. Tired of scrolling up and down when you need to compare two fonts? In FontBase, you can simply pin a font to top and easily compare it to any other font in your collection. Start typing your search query, and you'll see the found fonts displaying in FontBase window immediately. You can also select a font and change the sample text individually, if you want to. You'll see the sample text changing live for all fonts. You can also create as many collections as you like by yourself. There is a number of predefined collections, such as recently added fonts (really useful), Typekit fonts and favorites. Apply styles to the whole collection or just to individually selected fonts. Simply change the color, background, font size, line height and align of your fonts. It also supports automatic updates and easy to remember keyboard shortcuts. I'd like to be able to just distribute the font with the scripts folder rather than installing the font through the OS on the target systems.With FontBase you can easily create and manage collections, change font styles, instantly apply font styles in Photoshop, compare fonts, use live search and live text preview.

I'm wondering if I'm just having a problem with the path to the font but any of my experiments have not revealed the issue. Now, I've read about needing fontconfig in order to load fonts in Unix/X11 so I tried installing that with brew.
#Fontbase add folder code
If I run the same code on Linux, it works MySillyFont loads and is available in a Qt Font Dialog Box. I find that a) test is = to -1 (meaning it didn't load the font)ī) Qt just uses Lucida Grande c) A Qt font dialog box doesn't (obviously) find the MySillyFont.

Test = fontbase.addApplicationFont("MySillyFont") If I have a ttf font in the same folder as my Python script and I do something like this: fontbase = QtGui.QFontDatabase() I've done quite a bit of googling and found some interesting info but haven't been able to solve this.
