- A quick look at Font-Manager for Linux. I love using this software for installing and organizing fonts. It helps me choose the right font for each design.

This looks really useful, as an Ubuntu user. Haven't had a good font app for years
Good job and thanks for the video, nice tool.
Thank you this is video rich as lasts
Great program and thx for the video!
What I do miss though: It'd be nice and helpful, if I could just put in my own sample text.
Oh yes, you can enter your own sample text. The interface is a little strange but in the manage area you double-click on the text to change it and in the other two areas there is a textbox for entering sample text.
Thank you
Thanks👍🤞👌
Maybe I missed it but I didn't hear you mentioning that you within font manager easily activate/deactivate installed fonts so when using them in your applications you don't have to scroll through endless lists of fonts.
Good point Hans. I forgot to talk about this but it is a great feature!
After you install a font in the font manager, do you have to take a next step or something before the fonts show up in your word processing program, libreoffice, or equivalent? Thanks.
Follow up; I clicked on the 'add font' (+) button in the font manager. It then installed the font I wanted. But after that the new font isn't showing up in the word processor program. So there must be some other follow up step after that, that I'm missing?
Right click on the font then "Install", and it will be available. It's really inconvenient : I haven't figured out how to install several at once, nor how to make the difference between fonts that have been imported but not installed without right-clicking to see if the "Install" option is there... except that sometimes the "Install" option is there even though the font has already been installed. If there is a more convenient way I haven't found it 😢
If you use, install font manager, then should you uninstall fontmatrix (also Linux based)? Do they conflict with each other? I was having fontmatrix have problems. So I'm anxious to try out this one instead.
