My bad. Forgot to post this.
FontCard 1.0.3 is out and there appears to be some food or other gunk under my right mouse button.
Here is what is new:
New in v1.0.3
- Panther Compatible.
- Now reads from the new font set format in Panther.
- Opens Font Book when the "Edit Collections" button is pressed on the preference pane.
- Now shows a bullet (•) instead of an asterisk (*) to better match Apple's Font Book's handling of duplicate fonts. Maybe Apple copied FontCard's behaviour before...
- Now sorts the font set names alphabetically.
- Possibly fixed a race condition that could prevent some applications to not launch completely and use 100% CPU.
- Worked around a "problem" in Panther that caused selecting a font from a submenu to fail.
- Works in Entourage when running on Panther.
- No longer builds font collections at launch. This change makes loading the font menu for the first time about a half a second slower than it would otherwise be.
- Added recent and favorites fonts to the font collections. (Panther only.)
- Selected fonts are added to the recent fonts collection. They will appear in all applications and Font Book. (Panther only.)
- Font collections now have icons. If you use something like CandyBar, FontCard will show those icons.
- Fixed a problem with FontCard still showing up if you had created a new application rule and disabled FontCard for it.
- Fixed a problem with Illustrator wiping out WYSIWYG menus.
Personally, I love the new recent fonts and favorites features. Apple made it impressively easy to add in Panther. Too bad the API for it is incomplete and requires Cocoa. There is SO much more to come in the future. I hope y'all will like it.
How about that. I managed to use "y'all" and "behaviour" in the same post.
For those that are wondering, the title is a reference to Excel Saga. All Hail Lord Ilpalazzo!

"Added recent and favorites fonts to the font collections. (Panther only.)"
I seem to miss how to add items to the new "Favourites" menu. And, for whatever reason, I already do have Verdana listed there -- how would I get rid of that one?
TNX so much for a hint! FC is going to be my third Unsanity purchase...
Posted by: MartinK on February 12, 2004 2:45 AMMartinK: you can add items to "Favorites" from within the Font panel, which can generally be invoked from any Cocoa program.

Yeah, nothing worthwhile to say, sorry.
