1. A small bug report for those of you using Font Navigator:

   • If you use a multi-screen setup and need to update your font database (i.e. search for new fonts), make sure Font Navigator is located on your primary screen.
     Otherwise, you won’t be able to click in the checkboxes next to the drives you want to search.

   Try uninstalling your font navigator, reinstalling, and then update your font database by clicking File > Find Fonts.

   If that doesn’t work, then I don’t know what will… has Font Navigator worked for you before ?

   I am trying FontHit right now, and it is pretty nifty for freeware.

   I dont see an on/off switch, though. Maybe I?m missing it.

   But otherwise, the auto-categories within styles is awesome.

   I like the preview of a bunhc of fonts at once, and the ability to choose a preview text, with wildcards for font name.

   Nice freeware.

   What a piece of crap. It can’t even delete or move selected fonts! I don’t recomend.

5. Hi mr Joen, sorry for the late post. I uninstalled font navigator 5, re-installed it and nothing, nada, zero, still crashed. Tried to get it working uninstalling corel but still nothing. The strangest thing is that it worked great for the past year, so I don’t know what happened.

   Now I’m trying Extensis Suitcase, and so far so good.

7. I’ve created a .rar file with Bitstream Font Navigator 5.0.0 Build 108

   http://rapidshare.de/files/26246515/Bitstream_Font_Navigator_5.0.0_Build_108.rar.html

   To avoid first run configuration and first run pop up windows just add some fonts to your catalogue

   If it creates a folder in your desktop with 3 subfloders called Cache, Data_NT and Groups do this:
   Click on Start/Run and type regedit

   go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ and delete Bitstream folder

   Enjoy…

10. Thank you so much for explaining what was going on! I was going through the same thing with wanting to use FN but being frustrated by the lack of Open Type Support. I was trying to find the latest version of it, and luckily stumbled across this article, which explained it all.

    And also thanks tebo for uploading the files!!

11. FYI Font Navigator IS available for purchase from Bitstream. Here is a reply to an email I sent yesterday:

    “Although it is not currently advertised on our website, you can purchase a single-user copy of Font Navigator 5.0 (the most current version) for $49.95. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance. If you would like to call and place an order, the toll-free number for the Bitstream Retail Sales Department is 1-800-522-3668.”

12. Very impressed with the instructions to get Bitstream Font Navigator working without going through the installation process for CorelDraw.

    Fantastic stuff, as I have wanted to have this program working like this for ages.

    Many thanks.

13. As a long time CorelDRAW user, I’ve been using Bitstream Font Navigator for many years, and was thrilled when support for OpenType fonts was added. However, BT Font Navigator still doesn’t work perfectly (at least, not on my system).

    I’m running Font Navigator version 5.0.0, build 108, which is the version that shipped with CorelDRAW 12 and CorelDRAW X3 (and I’ve since updated my Corel Suite X3 — which is what I run at the moment — to Service Pack 2, version 13.0.0, build 739).

    So I should have the latest version of Font Navigator on my system.

    The only problem I’ve encountered with managing OT fonts is that I can’t delete them from a font suitcase (aka font group). I can delete TT and T1 fonts just fine, but the only way I know to delete an OT font from one of my font groups is to delete the entire font group, and build it anew, without the unwanted OT fonts.

    I’m in the throes of upgrading my OS from Windows 2000 to Windows XP, reinstalling Font Navigator 5, encountering the exact same problems with deleting OT fonts from a font group, and looking for a better solution.

    My present work-around is tedious, and since so many others are raving about Font Navigator, I’m wondering if I’m the only one having this problem???
