Font Manager X8

Hi. Have used CorelDraw since version 2 (not X2). Loaded the trial version of X8 plainly because of the Font Manager. I have 5040686 fonts (48GB). I have immediately had problems accessing my fonts, probably due to my directory structure. Not all fonts are on my "productions systems", but on network drive. Can you add me to your "beta testers"? All systems running latest Windows 10 64bit on a gigabit network (Paired NIC's on all systems - 2GB/s, and all systems running on SSD's)

Well....only 1800 odd fonts installed, but the rest in archive folders. Been collecting fonts since the late 1980's

I have to say that for me with my 2,500 fonts it works really well.

Hi Roy
I have Corel since old version 2 (1980's?) and up to X4 the old Bitstream FN did the job quite well. Since then I think it stared lagging behind operating systems and hardware capabilities. I recently upgraded all system to windows 10 and upped the hardware quite a bit as well. No more hard drive bottlenecks and ample RAM. Bitstream FN has reached it's limits long ago. And to manually sort fonts is a task I do not want to take on and it is time it is done. Thus a Font manager that works as advertised will be fantastic.

I've been using CorelDraw since v2 as well. I agree with what you say about a font manager, but I doubt any of the devs at Corel envisaged anyone having quite so many fonts as you have. That said, there should be some way to make it workable for you. Maybe Gerard will look in here with some suggestions.

Ernst : you are my new best friend ;)

5000000 fonts! I find this hard to believe. Are you sure that we are not talking about files here?

Right now you will hit performance issues with that many fonts. If you become a beta tester, we might be able to test improvements on your setup and hopefully become usable with that many fonts.
