• Font not showing up? Close and reopen the app — most applications load fonts only at startup.
• Too many fonts? Use a font manager like MainType or FontBase to activate only what you need per project.
• Identify an unknown font? See our font identification guide.
• Can't open the ZIP file? Both Windows 11 and macOS unzip natively. See our unzip guide for older systems.
