What's new in Font Tool 1.2.1
May 28, 2018
- This version improves support for the command-line:
- USAGE: [OPTION]... [FILE]...
- A very easy-to-use, portable and friendly font loader.
- -d | --do-not-show | --hidden
- Open with a hidden window. Useful when
- opening as a start-up executable.
- -n | --no-tray
- Do not add a system tray icon. This can be
- combined with -d for a completely silent
- background application.
- -s | --supress-updates
- Disable updates.
- -h | --help
- Display this help message.
- Additionally, dropping font files onto the executable file (or passing them in via the command-line) when an already-existing process is running installs the fonts in the existing instance. Update messages and funcionality can finally be supressed (by passing -s as an argument).
New in Font Tool 1.2.0 (May 28, 2018)
- This update addresses a programme exception when a non-existing file is added. This update also adds command line arguments, which may be expanded in the future:
- -h or --help displays the help message
- -d, --do-not-show or --hidden opens the application but does not show the window initially. If another instance is already running, it will not be focused on. This is useful if you want to run this programme silently on startup.
- Command-line control over the application will be developed in a later iteration of the software.
