Why is it so hard to manage fonts in Windows?

Press release: California Fonts Free Font Manager


San Diego, March 19th, 2011 Almost everyone have a Windows machine either at work or at home and most people will write a fair share of documents and e-mails during their workday. Most use two or three different fonts, like Arial or Times New Roman. These are great fonts, but after a while most people will want to experiment with a wider selection. There are numerous font sites that allow users to download free fonts, but which still leaves open the complicated process of unpacking, moving, and installing them using the control panel. Now there is an easier way to do all this with just a few clicks and no fuss. California Font Manager allows users to download free fonts from within the application itself, and with just one click install or uninstall them. It can even queue up multiple fonts to be installed in a package in one go. For users without administrator rights, fonts can be activated on the fly and even remain active after reboot. "We tried to build the simplest tool we could," says Anders Heie, founder, "to allow anyone with a minimum of effort to manage huge font collections directly from one location. Without knowing anything about zip files, or control panels, users can now seamlessly browse and install new fonts with just a few clicks. This is truly a revolution in font management, and one we think should be free for all to use." With California Font Manager version 2.4 now on the market, font management is finally free. Anyone can download this sophisticated application and use it at no cost. It supports the most popular formats on the market today such as TrueType (ttf), Opentype (otf) and Type 1 (pfb/pfm) fonts. California Fonts is owned by The Scone Company, LLC, based in Poway, California. Founded in 2010, The Scone Company makes delicious scones and software, because all good software should be enjoyed with a good scone and a cup of coffee. Web: http://californiafonts.com
