Ich nutze seit 2 Tagen zur Schriftverwaltung Fontexplorer X.

Jetzt suche ich nach einer Möglichkeit, dass ich zum Beispiel in Photoshop nur die Schriften zur Auswahl angezeigt bekomme, die ich in meinem Ordner "Favoriten" gesammelt habe.

Geht das denn?
 
Mit Schriftensammlung kann man doch auch Gruppen anlegen...
 
Ja und dann?
:confused:
 
Du musst die entsprechenden Einstellungen in FEX machen...
In den Programmgruppen kann man angeben, was bei einem bestimmten Programm automatisch aktiviert oder deaktiviert werden soll.
Ich persönlich halte FEX für flexibler als die Schriftensammlung.
 

Create a Collection
Let’s say that you often create fliers that need a variety of weights and
widths in the type, but you never remember which of your fonts have
condensed faces, which have bolder-than-bold faces, and so on, and
you’re tired of scrolling and clicking your way through your entire
font collection when looking for type ideas.
Here’s how to make a more limited browsing list for a specific style:
1. Click the button beneath the collection list or choose File > New
Collection (Command-N).
2. Name the new collection Black.
Page 124
3. Click on All Fonts in the Collection list.
4. Select Style from Search menu.
5. Type black in the Search field.
You’ll get several fonts from your Tiger set, such as Helvetica Neue
and Hoefler Text. The family names are in the Font list with only
their black faces listed.
6. Select all the fonts in the Font list (or be a little more choosey and
select some of them) and drag them into your Black collection.
Collect families instead of faces
The procedure just described for collecting black faces, or any other
style (condensed, for instance, or semibold) is great when the goal
is a browsing list in Font Book. But if you’re using Font panel, or
some utility that provides font selection using Font Book’s collections
as groups, you don’t want only the black faces in your Black collection:
you want all the faces of any family that includes a black face.
Luckily for you, your intrepid author doesn’t give up easily when
faced with these situations. Here’s how to get the entire family into
a style-based collection in Font Book:
1. Before you do any search, choose All Fonts in the Collection list.
2. Tab to the Font list and choose Edit > Select All.
3. Press the Left arrow key to collapse all the family names.
4. Create a new collection and perform a style-based search as
previously described.
The found fonts in the Font list are expanded to show the style
faces found in the search. Don’t touch them. Don’t drag them to
the collection yet.
5. Click the (Clear) button in the Search field.
This shows the entire All Fonts list again. Don’t worry—you
haven’t lost your found fonts. You might not be able to see them,
but the fonts found in the search are still selected in the list. And,
because you collapsed the Font list before the search, it’s collapsed
now, too, with only family names showing.

6. Scroll through the Font list until you can see one of your selected
“found” fonts.
Be very careful not to click anywhere and accidentally select
anything, or all your found fonts will be deselected.
7. Grab one of the selected, found fonts and drag it into your
Collection list.
All the selected fonts come along with it. Since the families are still
collapsed, the entire family is put into the collection, instead of just
the typeface style you searched for. Figure 19 shows the results.

Disabled Collections vs. Disabled Contents
One of the advantages of working with collections is the convenience
of disabling an entire group of fonts at once, simply by selecting the
collection and choosing Edit > Disable CollectionName. But disabling
and enabling collections occasionally backfires, since Font Book is a
little idiosyncratic when it comes to collections and disabled fonts:
• Disabling a collection turns off all the fonts in it, even if those fonts
also belong to another collection. This sounds reasonable, but it’s
not the way most of us work: we might want to turn off Client A’s
fonts because the project’s done for now, but still need to work
with Client B’s fonts—some of which are now turned off, too,
because they were common to the other collection. You wind up
having to disable Client A’s Collection list and then enabling either
the Client B collection or specific fonts in it—that is, if you
remember that the font also exists in the other collection.
• Once a collection is disabled, turning on some, or even all, of the
fonts in it directly (without turning on the collection specifically)
doesn’t change the collection’s disabled status: its name
Page 127
remains dimmed and labeled off even though some of its fonts are
on (Figure 20). This is particularly problematic when a troubleshooting
technique re-enables all disabled fonts without changing
the collection’s status—you might not notice all the fonts are back
on. It’s also a problem because fonts can be turned on or off by
manipulating them through other collections, as mentioned in
the previous point, or directly in the Font list.

• The reverse of the last point is also true: disabling some, or even
all, of the fonts in a collection won’t change its status from enabled
to disabled. (Would it be so hard to indicate when some of a
collection is on and some off?)
When a collection’s status doesn’t match its contents, it’s harder
than it should be to straighten out the problem. If, for instance, the
collection thinks it’s disabled even though its fonts are not, the only
command available when you select the collection is Enable. If you
want the fonts disabled, you either have to “enable” the collection
(which does nothing except change the available command to
Disable) and then disable it, or select all the fonts and disable
them directly to match the collection’s purported status.
