x8 FM not finding my fonts?

So i recently purchased the x8 Upgrade (from x5)  and FM is not finding all my fonts?  I'm attaching screen shots to try and help explain what I mean... but I don't know what to do?  I tried adding the fonts folder (and it was being really slow) so I let it run overnight... i came in this morning to find, that it was still "Analyzing Fonts"?  All the fonts seem to be loaded in Corel Connect (although admittedly i still don't understand what corel connect does, see fig 1.) but in FM, it's missing A BUNCH of fonts (See fig 2.).  Since corel support team refuses to help me out in ANY WAY, and will not contact me the way they've said they would numerous times.... I've decided to reach out to you fine folks in hoping to get some kind of answer! Thanks.

PLEASE HELP!!! Because Corel sure isn't! [8-)]

  • Two separate things. Corel Connect is looking at the fonts on Corel's server.

    Corel's Font Manager is looking at wherever you tell it to as regards your computer, though it can also see the Connect fonts if pointed there. I only have it set to the Windows font folder and a local folder on my computer where the bulk of my fonts reside and are activated as needed.
    • That makes sense... but what doesn't make sense is... The font "Yelllow.TTF" is in the Folder that Connect sees and that FM is pointed too?
      • It isn't normal that after the whole night, it is still analysing, you might be hitting one of the problems we intend to fix in the next SP.

        Also, please note that CFM does monitor the connect font folder (where fonts are downloaded when you download them from connect) implicitely. CFM also monitors the windows\fonts folder implicitely.

        • I only have somewhere in the range of 2000 fonts... I've read thru the post you listed before and none of them seem to be the same as the problem I'm having?
          • I can take a look on Monday. Contact my at claude.peloquin@corel.com
        • The screen shot you attached may not be telling the whole story. But from what you have attached I can explain a few things.

          The Connect picture you attached is showing what Connect sees as fonts in a folder called "Fonts" on your desktop. It is not the entire set of fonts you have installed or downloaded from the "Content Exchange".

          The one with Font Manager is showing what it sees as fonts that are available to Font manager from an online server called the "Content Exchange". Please note that it is possible for Connect to show more fonts on the Content Exchange than Font manager because Font manager only shows fonts that were shipped with X8 whereas Connect could potentially show you fonts from prior versions of CorelDraw (X6.1+, X7) if you have older versions associated with your account.

          Also, if you click on the "Content Exchange" item in font manager, it may cause it to try and check the content exchange for changes. So it may do work right after you click on "Content Exchange". Font manager should not query the "Content Exchange" unless you actually click on "Content Exchange" to delay the network traffic and reduce the initial font manager analysis time. So that might explain the analyzing font message you're seeing in the morning.
          • the fonts that you already had installed on your system are on "myFonts" folder. In other words, you should select this folder for see your fonts- The "Content Exchange" shoes the fonts available for download but those fonts are not installed, you should download and install the font you want.
            additionally, if you have a folder with fonts, you can click on the "add a collection" icon (the second icon on top bar) in order to follow this folder
          • Hi

            I had the same problem. When I added a font program not see them. I tried everything and I think I have a solution.
            Close corel and go to: C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Corel\FontDatabase\V1\ and delete all files in V1 folder.
            Start Corel.

              If you press F8 while starting Corel Font Manager, you get a dialog asking if you want to recreate the database.
              But manually deleting the database will have the same effect.
