Font compiling question...

[Circleville Signs]

Does anyone know if there is some type of plug-in for Adobe products that lets you "categorize" your fonts? I'd like to get away from the alphebeitcal listing of the 3000+ fonts on my system, and instead categorize them into different groups. That way i don't have to sift through hundreds of different fonts just to find the San Serifs, etc.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

corel's bitstream font navigator does that...

 

[Circleville Signs]

I'm guessing that "corel" means that it isn't going to be compatible with Adobe

 

[J Hill Designs]

if you have corel, just use it, then pick that font in adobe?

 

[Circleville Signs]

That would be a viable option - if I hadn't stopped using Corel back at version 7...lol

lol. ya. I just did a google search and came up empty...

maybe download a trial of corelx5 and bitstream will come with it, when uninstalling the trial, choose not to uninstall bitstream?

Very cool program, but some compatability issues may exist with CS5 as they may not have the plug in ready yet. There were some other "bugs" that that had easy fixes though. It's the easiest font manager I've found, and it has a very simple, "un cluttered" appearance.

yeah but you cant sort by category...you would have to add them into categories manually...
