Of course, once the code changes were done, we took a pass on the visual elements in the app. After getting the go ahead, there was a pretty substantial pull request. I contacted Manolo and asked if he’d like contributions. And while looking at the code, I had some ideas for improvements. The xFonts source code put my fears to rest because I could see exactly what it was doing with the profile. It can also be abused by a malicious developer to do the exact same thing with your device. It’s designed to allow businesses to control the content and settings of their employee’s devices.

The app got the job done, but more importantly it showed why I was being prompted to install a configuration profile.Īs a developer, I know a bit more about configuration profiles than most folks. Luckily, one response was just what I needed: Manolo Sañudo tweeted about his app xFonts. More research led to font installers on the App Store that were loaded with ads and required a passcode to install a configuration profile.Īs someone who was used to the elegance of copying a font file to a special folder and then being able to use it system-wide, this felt wrong both from a usability and security point-of-view. But even with a subscription, we couldn’t see new fonts in Tot.

There is no Font Book app and our initial research indicated that an Adobe CC subscription was required to download fonts. It made sense to bring this capability to the mobile app.īut we quickly realized that getting custom fonts onto iOS is much harder than on the Mac. We all have our favorite editing fonts and they were easy to configure on macOS. Everyone wanted to use custom fonts for their text on iOS. It all began with our simple text companion, Tot. I’m absolutely sure this is the first time that we’re announcing a release that isn’t our own app. It retails for about $50 online.I’m pretty sure this is the first time we’re announcing a new product that isn’t version 1.0. I’ve become a bit more subtle since those early days but occasionally have a need for something unique and this package has it for everyone but the most demanding.
This package really gives you just about anything you could ever need in terms of fonts.
Not only does this let you put some of the new fonts on, it also lets you take the existing ones you don’t use off. You can manage them in Font Book but I liked the included Mac FontManager better which allows you to see all available and installed fonts and move them as you please. The FontLibrary fonts are licensed for commercial use in printed materials and electronic mediums. In addition to truetype, it also comes with the fonts in OpenType format. This package includes some 600 fonts in several categories including refined, classic, designer and creative. So it was with this nostalgia that I installed the FontLibrary Library from MacWare. Does anyone else remember the original “San Francisco” font that bordered on anarchy? I’m sure I abused this newfound freedom turning in several papers with what could have only been called a font explosion. Granted that was a long time ago but the truth is the first thing that really impressed me on the Mac was the way that I could change the screen type. Back in 1987 I first learned the word “Fonts” when I leaned over a funny looking little beige computer in my college computer lab that said “Hello” when you turned it on.
