Nexus Font manager and X8 Font Manager.

I was so excited about the new CorelDraw Font Management system but am very very disappointed that there is no auto font activation like Bitstream Font Navigator. We really need that auto font activation here at our shop and without it, the new font management system isn't useful for us at all as we work on a networked system with all fonts stored on our network server.

On the other side, is there anyone in here that isn't and why? Maybe there is something else we can improve to facilitate and encourage the switch.

As far as I can see, there really isn't a means of not using CFM in some way, shape or form. Seem that it is either it is serving CD the fonts behind the scenes when using the font menu in CD, or the same functions--and first access slowness--are rolled into CD. CFM's main usage to me is limited to CD and or CD's usage of CFM to access fonts. I believe this capability is useful to me whether it is integrated or the same functionality is rolled into CD. It is convenient to have access in CD to the font library.

I prefer the FM I use simply due to its functions, how it operates and "presents" itself to me. I suppose that in part it is due to being "comfortable" as I have used it. It is, however, also faster to use. 

With both started, my FM is faster to scroll/view the same fonts than CFM. Faster to pop into and out of for making decisions in all the other applications I use than CFM. I would still need to activate/install fonts for all these other applications anyway, why would I like a speed hit to do so?

I moved from Nexus to CFM X8 because I don't have to run Nexus to get the font that I need on Corel.
I have about 30 different categories of font and I found very useful to switch and show to customer only the category that I choose from filter directly in Corel Draw.
I would like only the possibility to make AND and OR logic in the filter system of the font.

Last question in wich directory is the font database ?? Now that I have made it, I don't want to lose it and so I would like to make a backup copy of the directory every evening.

Thanx in advance and sorry for my english.
