“Modify the font menu in Carbon and Cocoa”

FontCard is a haxie that modifies the Font menu in Carbon and Cocoa applications. It can add an icon that displays the format of a font next to the font menu item, display the font name in the font face, group fonts into submenus, and add font collections to the font menu. Last but not least, it gives you the power of a professional font management utility.

Features:

  • View the Font menu with each font displayed using its own typeface (WYSIWYG Font Menu)
  • Instantly view the format of the font (TrueType, OpenType, PostScript, etc)
  • View all the styles the font offers right in the menu
  • Reveal the font in the Finder from the menu
  • View font collections in the Font menu
  • Mark and reveal duplicate fonts
  • Easy to configure as it comes in usual Preference Pane form, accessible through System Preferences

Languages:

English

  • Fixed a problem that prevented inactive font previews from working if the name of the home folder differed in case (Bob vs. bob) from the name specified in NetInfo.
  • Addressed an issue that would cause the FontCard menu to appear in places it shouldn't, especially in the various palette menus of Adobe Illustrator CS.
  • Fixed a problem that would cause the All Fonts group to be replaced by the first font alphabetically if the first font also had a duplicate installed.
  • Fixed a delay that could occur when opening menus if calculating the contents of their submenus was compute intensive.
