Search feature (My Library)

  • Similarly, 10 children (nested assets) will be shown in each folder on expanding the folder. Click on Load more to load another 10 assets in the respective folder.

Ensuring successful syncing of fonts and font families

It is important to download and install the Monotype Desktop application on your computer to sync the fonts and font families from the Monotype Fonts platform.

Otherwise, while trying to sync fonts or font families, the action may appear successful, but the font will not be available in the desired application. Key improvements include:

  • A new modal pop-up system is added with this release to guide you through the necessary steps based on your current Monotype Desktop application installation and login status. This process initiates when you click Sync. If the system does not detect Monotype Desktop application on your computer, the modal pop-up activates and guides you to take the necessary action. This ensures a successful sync.

  • There will be a persistent message on My Library page to remind and encourage you to download and log in to the Monotype Desktop application. This will help you to access your synced fonts library efficiently.
