Font Management

No, when you first run Navigator it, it makes a catalogue of your fonts by searching the system so fonts can be in several different folders. When you run Font Navigator you have 2 panes, catalogue in left, installed fonts in right and you can drag the font/s from one to the other. If you use Corel and open a file with a font not installed you will get the option to install and then that file will open as expected. This automatic installation only works if Font Navigator is installed and has a catalogue.

thanks alan, does the pane on the left contain the 1000 or so fonts included with corel?
Or do i need to install them from the CD?

edit: found them and installed them in the catalogue! cheers.

Hi there,

What we do as windows only supports a certain number of fonts is to create another directory, say My Documents/Extra fonts. Then put all the other fonts into this directory. When you boot up Bitstream font navigator it will ask you where to search for additional fonts. Select the extra fonts directory. The colum on your left is all the fonts available, the one on the right is for all installed fonts. All you have to do if you wish to use a typeface is click and drag it from the left column to the right. This is the the easiest way as we have a few thousand typefaces on our sytem. If you want to take a font out of windows just do the reverse.

Hope this helps 😀

The pane on the left ie the catalogue will contain the fonts on your hard disk (once its found them). You can include other fonts from removable disks and you will be prompted to install and/or copy them to your hard disk to the folder of your choice.
