The Tile View

Contents

    The Tile View appears in the FontAgent’s top pane and displays currently selected fonts in a grid of tiles that show:

    • Sample font glyphs in their native typefaces
    • Font names
    • Icons indicating font-file formats including OpenType, TrueType, PostScript Type 1, etc.
    • Switches for activating and deactivating the fonts

    Displaying the Tile View

    To display the Tile View, click the Tile tab above the top pane in FontAgent or type Ctrl-3

    FontAgent then displays a grid of tiles in the top pane of its main window.

    Preview Fonts in a Set

    To preview a set of fonts easily, just select a set in the Sets Sidebar on the left and the Tile View displays large previews of the fonts in the set.

    Compare Styles in a Font Family

    The Tile View is also handy in displaying the various styles contained in a font family. To do so, either select the font family or use the Search field to enter the family name.

    Activate and Deactivate Fonts

    Use the sliders in the upper-right of each font tile to activate and deactivate the font. A green slider indicates the font is activated and a grey slider indicates it is deactivated.

    Sync Fonts with Font Viewers

    When you select a font in the Tile View, the Player, Compare and Glyphs viewers display that font in the bottom pane.
