Options for font sorting? #46

Open BoldMonday opened 4 years ago

BoldMonday commented 4 years ago

I noticed FG applies automatic sorting to fonts when files are dropped on the app icon. The current sorting appears to look at OS/2 usWeight value first and then whether the font is roman or italic? It does not apply any sorting when files are dropped into a window. (I assume this is intentional.)

Please consider adding an option for sorting the list of fonts at any moment. It would be really nice if a user can define their own sorting filter so I can sort first by usWidth value, then usWeight, and then roman/italic, for example.

That multiple fonts dropped onto the window does not apply sorting is a bug, I'll look into that.

Yes, some more customizable sorting would be nice.

In the meantime you can reorder fonts manually by dragging fonts around, and save the project if you need to refer to that order later.
