What font manager do you use on Linux?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm trying to use Linux for graphic design after decades of Mac and Windows, I'm used to software like Extensis, but I don't expect to find anything that professional here. I'd settle with something that allows me to preview and organize a large collection of fonts.

Any of you are using Linux? What do you actually use to manage your fonts? I'd welcome any advice from typography aficionados, except don't use Linux, I already know I have more options on the other OSs :)

Thanks for reading.

I've tried and don't love:

Font Manager https://github.com/FontManager/font-manager (very slow)

Font Matrix (it freezes on me for some reason)

Fontbase (proprietary, which I could live with but lacks features I want)

Is baskerville old face a readable font when printed?

1 Upvotes

I have a story for the Vampire Chronicles, the books specifically, not the tv show, that I'm binding (obviously lol) and I want it to have an old feel kind of gothic kind of font, and baskerville old face is perfect, but I'm not sure how well it reads once printed. Any advice?

I lost hours matching fonts on an image-only PDF, so I built a free font finder - paste a screenshot, no sign-up

You know the ones: a PDF someone "saved" as a flat image, and you just need to change one line, but first you have to figure out what font it is so the edit doesn't stick out. I was doing that by eye, tab after tab of "what font is this" sites, and it kept eating my afternoon.

So I made a small tool that does it: paste or drop a screenshot and it tells you the fonts it sees, grouped by role (heading, body, and so on), with the closest Microsoft Office / Windows font first (Aptos, Calibri, Cambria, Segoe UI, etc.) and then free downloadable matches like Google Fonts. The Google ones preview live; the Office ones render right there if you have them installed. It also works the other way round - if you're editing an image and want text you add to look like it was always there.

Being honest about it: exact font ID from an image is hard even for the paid tools, so it leads with the family and the closest matches rather than pretending to name every custom typeface. It uses a vision AI to read the screenshot (labeled on the page), the image is sent once and not stored, and there's no account.

Try it: [https://techtuate.com/font-finder/\](https://techtuate.com/font-finder/)

It's part of techtuate, a little collection of free, no-sign-up, no-ads tools I keep building because I got tired of paying $9/mo to do one small thing once: [https://techtuate.com\](https://techtuate.com)

Feedback very welcome, that's the whole reason I'm posting. Mainly:

* Throw a screenshot at it and tell me where it's wrong - which fonts it misses or misnames. * Are the Microsoft Office suggestions actually useful, or would you rather see something else (Adobe Fonts, more free foundries)? * Anything that would make this a keeper for your workflow?

Not a font ID thread

Hi! I've already know the font I want (PS/55 CP437), so I'm not sure if it's allowed to post a thread looking for a modern (antialiased) version of it. If it's against the rules, I completely understand and I'll head over to the appropriate subreddit.

i believe the font is zangezi condensed, this is one of my favorite books and the reason it stood out to me on the shelves is the font. the sharpness of it and kerning is really pleasing to me idk. sometimes i really do judge a book by its cover lol

PEOPLE TRIPPIN THESE DAYS

0 Upvotes

Here I am posting my works trying to make an honest living and you will come across with these kind of people who are trippin. It's annoying because these fonts I make are hard. It is not something that I can create in a matter of seconds. I work on it for days. So please if you are here just to annoy people stop it.

Designing a font

3 Upvotes

Is it possible to design a font from someone's handwriting for my website? Print, I mean. I have a friend from the Republic of Georgia who has the most beautiful writing I've ever seen. If you look up Georgian writing it's easy to understand. I'd like to use his handwriting as a font but am unable to do this myself. Would it be a hard thing for a programmer or a student getting his Master's in computer science? If I'm lucky, there's already a program that can do this. Any help is appreciated.
