FontNavigator

WordPerfect Office used to come with Bitstream Font Navigator. Then it was limited to Corel Draw, but writers using WordPerfect would also find it useful. Corel should inlude it with WPO, at least as an add-on for a reasonable fee. Thank you.

    I have tried Nexus Font, but liked FontNav much better, even version 4, which I have from an earlier WordPerfect installation disk. As far as I know, Corel bought the program years ago. Corel seems to think it is still included with Corel Draw (see https://www.coreldraw.com/en/pages/items/1500772.html). Perhaps that is from an older version of Draw, because I see there is a program called Corel Font Manager included with the current subscription version of Draw.

    I don't need Corel Draw Standard, and I'm certainly not going to buy the subscription version that includes Font Manager, just as I won't subscribe to Microsoft 365 or Photoshop Creative Cloud. If WordPerfect ever goes subscription on us, I'll be done with it as well. At some point, we need to stand up and say "enough is enough" with the subscription model. Perhaps if more people had stood up to Microsoft in the very beginning, we users might not be in this situation. I'll get down off my soapbox now.

    It seems that Bitstream Font Navigator doesn't exist any longer (Bitstream is gone, too).


    Try Nexus Font (which is free) or another alternative.
