Although designed with the GNOME desktop environment in mind, it should work well with most major desktop environments such as Xfce, Enlightenment, and even KDE.

Font Manager currently allows the user to:

Preview installed fonts

Compare installed fonts

Easily install or remove fonts

Easily activate and de-activate installed fonts

Specify different directories to search for fonts

Group fonts into "Collections", and easily activate or de-activate groups of fonts

Export "Collections" to an archive for easy backup, sharing, etc.

Provides quick access to all GNOME font utilities.

In the future Font Manager intends to allow the user to:

Export "Collections" to a PDF "fontbook" (partially implemented)

Edit font metadata

Convert fonts to a different format
