Re: I can't find my installed fonts in Moho

Post by Greenlaw »

Rats! When I use the described 'Install...' options in FontExpert to make the font 'Moho-compatible', I can't easily deactivate the font from FontExpert like I can a normal Install. I guess this is because the font is now considered 'permanently' installed, and to 'deactivate' it I need to completely uninstall it.

I can deal with that since my font usage in Moho is limited, but I'll still let Mike know because Moho seems to be the only program I use that's this fussy about how a font is installed.

From the default system location, C:\Windows\Fonts, you can choose to "Hide" selected fonts. Perhaps Win 10 is trying to provide some native font management there.

I had a font installed that Moho couldn't find. I had previously used "install" - but, without removing it, I right clicked the font file and then invoked the "install for all users". The Win 10 settings / Fonts then reported that I had two font faces for the file, one installed to the user directory, the other to windows directory. Using Win 10 settings / Fonts to uninstall the sole-user one left the all-users one there - and everything seemed to be ok...

For example I cant see this font: https://fontshub.pro/font/brother-1816-download But it works with other softwares.
I successfully added that font and Moho 13.5.1 sees it. I'm on Windows 10 Home Version 20H2.
Right-clicking the .tff had "Install" and "Install for all users" options. The first way wasn't found by Moho, but the second way was.
It worked. Wooovv thank you so much.

There a corollary to this "fonts private to a user" situation: I've wanted the option for Moho to be installed on a per-user basis for a while now -- it would mean I could set up a separate windows user for test / experimentation purposes -- IOW if Moho gets access to the fonts that are associated with a specific user account (i.e. the one that is running the program) - might this make it "easier" to bundle in sort-of related changes to store user prefs etc on a per-user basis???
