FontBase 2.0 - Update for the super fast, beautiful and free font manager

Hi all! We have just released a big update for our free font manager. We have completely rewritten the core engine from the ground up. Now FontBase works much faster and stable and it also supports Mac and Linux! Some of the updates include: - Font activation - Nested folders support - Improved collections management - Automatic sync - Huge performance improvements - Updated UI - Updated website You can read about all the changes here: http://fontba.se/updates I will be glad to answer any questions you have!

Why is this free?

Some kind of categorisation by say serif/sans-serif/display etc would be great! Otherwise this is exactly what I've been waiting for! Thank you!

Great app! But please make it Retina proof!

In retina display its not so good :(

This font manager looks great 😊. I will download it once I'm on my PC. One thing I noticed was that on mobile there isn't a single image of how the font manager looks like - only when I hit (request desktop site.) I know this product is meant to be used on a desktop but lots of people visit from a mobile first.

Can't detect system fonts or active fonts. Fonts must be copied manually into folder. Errors since last update. Ghosty email support, otherwise Facebook for support - ie, no ticket system or other structured customer support. Cannot figure out how to login and cancel account. 2 days ago I wrote to Fontbase that I wanted to cancel my service because the product is not what I need - I got no response and instead my credit card was charged. I call BS. Maybe even fraud? They said I could cancel at any time but when I want to cancel they ignore me. So I will be forwarding my correspondence to Visa and asking them to reverse the charges, flag for erroneous use.

Pros:

Looks nice

Cons:

Can't detect system fonts. Bad customer support. Charges to credit card after account cancellation

All the issues I've found so far: 1. Only system fonts appear in the app, not the fonts I installed. 2. In previous versions, all opentype features could be modified. Why have you changed that? 3. For some reason, I cannot drag-n-drop fonts inside collections. 4. The app looks horrible in retina displays. Features I'd like to see: 1. Fonts ordered alphabetically. 2. The font weight next to font's name (e.g. Helvetica - Bold) 3. Google Fonts and/or Typekit sync. Other than that, really great product 😍 Looking forward to new updates.

I like it Dope🚬

Adobe support? :(
