@animani: I’m not saying its wrong to categorised with folders I just imagine “search” would be easier to implement.
@tonton: yeah, I got it 
Search - ah, thanks for pointing me to plus icon, I didn’t notice that, sorry, my fault
hello i try to install and a error say

i have linux mate 17
blender 2.76b
how i istall the add on?
Hi, thanks for reporting. I didn’t try on 2,76, for now i only tried on 2,78 and 2,79.
Can you try on one of these versions ? just to be sure it’s a linux related problem (there is already one reported) or version related problem ?
Hi blenderheads !
i just gave font selector some love !
here’s the improvements of the new version :
Origin directories and subdirectories of the font are stored, you can display them in the classic list, or toggle with the subdirectory Mode, organising the fonts by these directories !
The addon now filtered the corrupted font file out, and store their name in a file in order to not try to import them again ! You can manually add some font to filter through the addon preferences !
A video about it ! (sorry for the poor english…)
Here’s the Gumroad :
The Github :
I didn’t have time to make a lot of test, so tell me here or on the github if anyone encounter bugs !
As usual, C&Cs are more than welcome !
Oh man you did it. I am so glad to see the new requested subfolder navigation. Thank you so much. The filter its another huge improvement. Brilliant!
hehe thanks man ! tell me if everythinh work as intended, i only had time to try on small font folders !
So far so good. Will let you know if I find any issues. Thanks again.
Just a little hotfix update !
v1.25 :
- fix .psb font, format is now supported by the addon
- the refresh operator now print in the console some information about its activity

hi guys, a bunch of people asked me about 2.8x support for font selector, so to keep you up to date, i m working on it right now.
I m first rewriting the addon for 2.7x with improvements and clearer code to allow a smoother transition for me (no profesional coder here ) and i ll port it as soon as this process is over ! i hope a (at least kind of beta) release on february ! font selector will be back, better than ever
if you want to check progress, you can go to the v2 branch on github, there is also a project roadmap (same github)
cheers guys !

Hi guys, i recently updated Font Selector addon in version 2.0 !
It is still in beta stage and only available for 2.7x serie of Blender, but i hope to get some feedback on the improvements and start porting on 2.8 soon !
Come take a look on the product page to download the new version available ! (you can select Font Selector v2.0 beta1 from the product page)
Here’s the new features :
-
All the addon was rewritten in multi file addon, now using json external files, optimised and faster than before
-
New way of refreshing font list is now modal, you can continue working on Blender, the UI stay responsive and you can survey changes with a nice progress bar in properties panel
-
Auto Update on startup if any fonts changes in your setup Font Folders, Blender will automatically and transparently updates the Font List
-
You can now change several text objects fonts in one click
-
New folder override system to toggle between your normal Font Folders, and a specific one (for example a project with only 10 authorized fonts from the artistic director)
-
New Fake User button, taking advantage of the Blender built in system of Fake User to make a kind of per project favorites
-
New Export system, giving you the choice of exporting as zip, or folder, the Favorites or Fake User fonts of Project
Here’s a quick and dirty video to show an overview of these features :
The gumroad page :
And the github release :
And that’s it !
Still in beta, so a few bug can occurs, don’t hesitate to report them through issue in the github page (accessible through the addon preferences)
Hope you’ll like this update !
Cheers !
Hey guys, great news ! Font Selector is available for blender 2.8 !
Here’s the beta for version 2 of the addon (see post above for changelog) :
https://github.com/samytichadou/FontSelector_blender_addon/tree/v2_blender_2_8
and thanks to the work of ceefit on github, here’s the branch for v1 of the addon for blender 2.8 :
https://github.com/samytichadou/FontSelector_blender_addon/tree/v1_for_blender_2_8
Few tweaks to make before stable release ! try it out and let me know what you think !
PS : for the version 2, i get rid of the override folder functionality, too clunky for now, maybe next version !
PS2 : in version 2 you may see a bug with the fake_user icons in the list, it seems to be due to blender beta stage, if anyone knows how to fix this let me know !
PS3 : i’m not sure how to use the single column layout code, if anyone is familiar with it, let me know too 
Cheers !
