It’s possible he meant something different, and that it’s related to my question also. He may be asking about the fonts he already had previously installed (let’s say, in Windows/fonts). The installation of FontBase, by itself, doesn’t touch those – right? FontBase will only activate and deactivate fonts inside C:/Users/[user_]/FontBase (the default).
But getting from 3000+ fonts in Windows to 3000+ fonts under FontBase’s control is not well explained in your docs.
My question is a bit beyond these points, and may in fact be a Windows question (but I hope you can help): I copied all fonts in my system, put the copies in FontBase, then deleted my fonts in System/fonts (reinstalled the Windows10 default fonts manually).
My issue now is that my apps (Photoshop, Word, etc.) are seeing an active font menu that bears NO relation to EITHER the Windows/fonts list, OR the FontBase list. I am afraid they are pulling from some other font repository that I can’t find, or a cache. I have restarted the box several times.
