  1. Make carousel navigation continuous on hover, rather than requiring multiple clicks

    Would be nice if the horizontal scroll (on new releases, categories, etc) was more fluid, as in– if it didn't go one-by-one, as that requires a lot of clicking to scan through to see what's available.

    Otherwise, at first glance this is a great improvement! Love the grid and open feel. Look forward to seeing the site become "official."

    • Add the ability to use custom preview text on "Search By Sight" feature results

      After answering all of the questions to search by sight, it would be helpful if I could use custom preview text to make it easier to match it to my sample.

      • More PDF showings

        It is tedious and pointless to BROWSE for fonts online! Take each category and create a PDF downloadable, good old fashioned TYPE BOOK! When new fonts come out include their PDF pages for us to add to our categories. Your sales will greatly improve because graphic designers will once again be able to SEE, FIND, and BUY what we need! Only someone NOT working would have time to BROWSE online!

          Got it. For many, there’s no substitute for a printed catalog. PDF samples for all families are in the roadmap. In the meantime, visit the library pages where you can download a PDF catalog for our MT, LT and ITC libraries and the Adobe Type Collection. http://bit.ly/IFzpCY Or, give us a call and see if you can sweet talk your way into a printed catalog. Good luck!

            • Wish list improvement drastically needed

              I created a wish list with a lot of fonts for a specific project. Now I want to go back and review my initial selections. How many selections did I make? I can't tell because all I can see is the first 6 or so. And I need to see them in the logo name I'm designing for to make a quality decision on whether to continue to explore using this font. Not offered. Oh, and the wish list from 2008 — can I delete? Apparently not.

                Hi Kathryn,

                If you’re not seeing all of your selections, its possible it is because they are part of the same family. Family results are grouped under their parent family. In regards to deleting wish lists, you should be able to do so using the “Options” dropdown in the Manage Wishlist section. Finally, to add preview text you can hover over a typeface name and use the “Try It” option to enter custom preview text.

                Regards,
                Matt

                It would be great (perhaps life-saving) if you could get some social media icons -- facebook, twitter, pinterest et al - maybe even some different styles -- enclosed circles, squares etc.

                • Allow for selection of the font-family stack

                  I've been searching for a way to change the font-stack that gets created automatically, but I don't think it exists, so I figured I'd suggest it.

                  On other font websites, the generated classes (which I like to use more than adding the font into various selectors through my own CSS) can have additional fonts selected for the stack, ex:

                  font-family: 'My Font Lite', Arial, sans-serif;

                  This allows a fallback if/when the font loading fails, which should be such a rare occurrence, but it can happen.

                  I can add my own .wf-my-font-lite {} class with the full stack, and !important it,…

                        • Your wish list does not seem to be working right.

                          I have added about 8 products to my wish list. But all I can see is one page with Classic Grotesk products (I added the family pack to my wish list). I cannot see any way to go to the next page of fonts. So I deleted individual fonts in order to bring up some other font families that I had added to my list. However, my deletions do not stick. I tried it in Win/Firefox 15 and IE 9.

                            Hi Darrin,

                            There is currently a bug that only displays the first 50 entries to your wish list. We’re working on fixing it, I apologize for the inconvenience!

                            Regards,
                            Matt

                          • Please make it an option to select multiple fonts at once to download for Skyfonts

                            I LOVE that you can now sync the Google font collection with the desktop app you guys have built - but it would be really useful to have the option to select all of the fonts at once to sync. I work in an environment where I constantly have to get new Google fonts from a design and it would be great to have the whole library always available. It's virtually impossible to go through and click on every single one (1100 and growing!) to get it and have it ready for when I need it.

                                Why can't I add an entire family to my favorites? Why are favorites called 'Wish List' for webfonts? Why do I have to create individual classes for weights of a typeface instead of just calling them by css font-weight: 400, 500, etc (like Typekit supports)?

                                  Hi Jameson,

                                  Thanks for the feedback! We once had the ability to add an entire family to the wishlist but we found that customers were inadvertently adding entire families, creating huge wishlists in some cases. In regards to the naming, this is a holdover from when Fonts.com was only desktop fonts and they are powered by the same system on the back end.

                                  In regards to your questions about font weight, older mobile browsers do not support these conventions so we urge users to call the proper font weights by name.

                                  Rregards,
                                  Matt

                                  • Wish Lists - Paginate

                                    First of all, great job on the re-vamp especially the font search filters (much more intuitive).

                                    There is a bug I believe on the Wish Lists. If you have a particularly long wish list then it does not paginate.

                                    So if your wish list is 3 pages long, you simply do not get the pagination "page 1, 2 ,3" links to use and have to manually edit the URL with:
                                    "?page=2&"

                                    Thank you.

                                      • Fix wish list problems

                                        Several fonts that I did not select ended up on my wish list. I deleted them and when I went back to the list they were back on there. This makes it very hard to narrow down fonts for a project.
