Nice program. One small remark: would be nice if in the font display, the default display would be ‘Regular’ or ‘Standard’, instead of (alphabetical ordered?) ‘Bold’ etc. Many fonts don’t look very nice when rendered Bold by default, makes quick scan and selection more difficult. Apart from that, thanks for the program!

Hiya – hey if I activate a ‘collection’ does that only fonts in that collection should appear in say Inkscape?
I am looking for a way to restrict what fonts Inkscape sees depending on what I am working on.
Cheers !
