Fontmatrix | All about fonts

    • Wow, la page se charge rapidement, c’est vraiment utile. Merci !

      Pour des besoins plus avancés (enfin, selon mon point de vue de non spécialiste), dans le rayon des applications, justement, on peut signaler fontmatrix ( http://fontmatrix.net ).

      Fontmatrix is a real Linux font manager, available on any platform and as well for KDE (which already had Kfontinstaller) as for Gnome.

      It’s purpose is to recursively query the fonts (ttf, ps & otf) in the directories you give it to search, sort them quickly, (avoiding bugged or broken ones) and show them.

      Then, you can tag them, sub-tag, re-sort according various tags, preview... Even create a pdf Font Book...

      Next step, you will activate/deactivate the fonts you want at that moment using the tags system constituting various “user profiles needs”, with more sub-tags if created, family check box grouping automatically all variations (regular, italic, bold etc.) of one font, or even fonts selected one by one.

      Each font selected can show different kind of information : name and family related, detailed font information; one word preview (user defined); one sentence (or set of character) preview with the ability to keep various user’s sets in the preferences; detailed glyphs view according various subsets (ie Basic Latin, Punctuation, Mathematical Operators... and of course All Glyphs).

      Un must-have sous Linux (je ne sais pas ce que ça donne sous d’autres plates-formes, mais il y a une version Mac et Windows).
