Maybe one day the Finder (or any other file browser) will allow to sort fonts by their panose: proper sorting by width / weight etc.

@triple I suppose that was what Font Managers used to do, but they have all fallen.

Do people still set Panose properly?

@drj Good question, maybe not. And I’ve heard some are relatively happy with the newer generation of font managers.

@triple @drj Yup, Typeface works pretty fine.

@nicolasfolliot @triple oh I didn't realise that font managers were still a thing. I thought big A had killed them all off.

@drj @triple Depends a lot on your workflow and ethics I guess. I'm trying to use mainly, if not exclusively, fonts from independent designers and foundries. And I'm also working almost full-time on Affinity, when I'm not forced to use Adobe stuff for occasional clients. So managing my fonts with an independent software like Typeface just makes sense for me.

@drj @nicolasfolliot @triple no A is big enough to crush us all :) *runs for cover*
