Font Selector is an addon to add font functionalities to blender.
It allows user to dynamically visualize available fonts applied to a text object without the painful process of importing a font through filebrowser.
Font Selector’s features :
- Automatic detection of the font folders according to the host OS (if some folders are missing, please report an issue)
- Support for 3D text objects and video text strips
- Dynamic browsing through fonts without leaving the 3D view/sequencer and with direct visualisation of the font on active text object, like in any other compositing and editing software
- Font list stored externally in cache files, to prevent a re run on every startup. Font Selector will automatically check for new/removed fonts and update the list accordingly on every startup
- Favorites font system : because browsing through hundred of fonts can be slow, you can mark fonts as favorites, these favorites fonts can be easily access by turning on the favorite filter
- Font are stored in families, browsable quickly, user can then choose available type (Regular, Bold, Condensed…)
- Reveal file operator allows user to open an explorer to the selected font
- Several available locations for the panel (properties, popovers, pop up operator) through the preferences
- Load Font Family operator to load all “blender specific” font types of a family in one click. Blender handles multiple font types on a single text object with the limitation of 4 of them (Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic). Font Selector, if available, allows user to set them up for the selected font family
