Brian.Taylor.2 Member	Here's what I see: "You are using Chrome Dev 63.0.3239.84 on Windows 7" What I need to do with multiple font selection is to select two or three similar fonts (example, script fonts) and have these applied randomly to the words (in other words, without having to specifically set up different fonts for each word in the word list). I can select multiple contiguous fonts but not individual fonts that are scattered throughout the font list. Since related fonts are not arranged contiguously in the font list, this doesn't help me. Also, just wondering if you plan to add more fonts in the future? The selection you have now is good, but it would be nice to have more to choose from. Edited 04 Jan, 2018 21:45

I can select multiple *contiguous* fonts but not individual fonts that are scattered throughout the font list. Since related fonts are not arranged contiguously in the font list, this doesn't help me.

Also, just wondering if you plan to add more fonts in the future? The selection you have now is good, but it would be nice to have more to choose from. smile

Brian.Taylor.2 Member	PS - SHIFT + Mouse click works in Chrome to select a contiguous range of fonts, but I never want to do that. The fonts you use need to be somewhat harmonious (for instance, script fonts or bold block fonts), and they're scattered throughout the font list, so I need CTL to work. I can just use Firefox if need be.

Brian.Taylor.2 Member	Yes, as I said, it works in Firefox. Also, please restore the ability to inividually determine whether a word will be repeated or not. This is VERY important, thanks! Otherwise, I have to drag the repeats off the shape and erase them in Photoshop or else paint over them in Photoshop if I don't do so.

Brian.Taylor.2 Member	I'm using Chrome v62.0.3202.94. What keys are you pressing to get it to work in Chrome? I've tried the CTL key (with left mouse clicking on font names), as well as SHIFT, ALT and all possible combinations such as SHFT-CTL, CTL-ALT, SHFT-CTL-ALT, etc.

Brian.Taylor.2 Member	Thanks for your response. Another function I miss in the new version is the ability to select multiple fonts by holding down the CTL key in the FONTS panel. By doing so, random assignments of diffferent fonts are made and - serendipity - you eventually find one you like by re-visualizing your word cloud several times. This is not the same thing as assigning different fonts to specific words in the WORD panel, which are then fixed and not randomly assigned.

Brian.Taylor.2 Member	…at least until the new one incorporates ALL of the functionality of the old one - such as the ability to rapidly add random colors to a palette and deleting those you don't want. I have often discovered great new palettes by that sort of serendipity, as opposed to deliberate color selection. Also, kindly implement the ability to rename files within my storage area. This is a basic file management function. Edited 20 Nov, 2017 07:01
