Why this font is everywhere

Sas

[Doug (Doug Fisher)]

Yep. Overused, and in my opinion (not that it means much), a very uninspiring font.

hehe
It is a nice but overused font indeed!

off-topic… what program do you use to keep order in your fonts?

[Sasquatch (Be a ROLEX, not a Timex!)]

FontBase — a Free, Beautiful, and Fast Font Manager

Here you go @sensor

Mac OS’s Font Book (system utility).

[Hank (Hank Morgan)]

FontBase, eh?
It even runs on Linux. I’ll give it a try!

Awesome if you have Mac

This one is for the rest of the 93% of non Mac OS peeps

He asked what we used, not what was most popular.

I wonder what the percentage of Mac licenses Oz sells is?

That would be more relevant than counting every big business and government computer, and every old dog of a PC going back to '83.

Not knocking you friend, I just said that The others will never know the beauty of your tool.

Here is some information on your question from April of this year

It’s from this thread

Just a general OS question

I’m a developer, and worked on / with Linux daily for about 2 years and hated it. I can’t understand why anyone would choose to work in the dependency hell that system creates. I’m familiar enough with it that it’s not terrible to do a build of LightBurn for it, so I do, but I can’t imagine anyone using it voluntarily for any reason other than “it’s free”. For LightBurn users, here’s the breakdown: [image]

[JVL (Jan VanderLinden)]

Yes, the download is free.
But then, mysteriously they need $3.00 per month.
No thanks.
Uninstalled.
I’ve been using Dafont for a number of years now and its truly free.

[Sasquatch (Be a ROLEX, not a Timex!)]

Thank you for the update. I did not know that . I heard good things about the program but have not personally used it.

[Solocraft (Larry)]

Hey Sasquatch, love the recommendation! I downloaded FontBase and it works fine with Lightburn. I can not get it to work with Gimp or Inkscape, I don’t suppose you have a simple solution??

[Sasquatch (Be a ROLEX, not a Timex!)]

@Solocraft

Gimp or Inkscape

Have you tried rebooting the computer and/or programs sometimes they need a rest whenpermissions to access have changed

[Solocraft (Larry)]

No such luck…Ive tried running everything as admin as well. Damn, that would have been such a nice addition… thanks anyways.

[Hank (Hank Morgan)]

I got mine working in Linux.
Sorting through fonts now trying to decide what to enable and what to disable…

[sensor (Björn Ruber)]

If you ever feel the need to create your own font…

Been playing with it for a few hours and it is really nice.

font manager. there’s a free version as well as paid versions. of course the paid has a few more options than the free but the free still allows like 2,500 fonts I think it was. I’ve already upgraded, just trying to get Lightburn to play nice and install my fonts.

@demontjc

just trying to get Lightburn to play nice and install my fonts.

Please elaborate.
