Hi Peter,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the feedback.</div><div><br></div><div>We are looking to combine the old layout of the fonts/ page with the new catalogue/ layout.</div><div><br></div><div>See: <a href="http://openfontlibrary.org/en/fonts">http://openfontlibrary.org/en/fonts</a></div> <div><br></div><div>which has the category links you are looking for. Having filters directly on the catalogue page is something we would like to see implemented.</div><div><br></div><div>If you have any more detailed ideas please don't hesitate to file a bug at:</div> <div><br></div><div><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/openfontlibrary/+milestone/0.5">https://bugs.launchpad.net/openfontlibrary/+milestone/0.5</a></div><div><br></div><div>Christopher</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"> On Sat, Apr 7, 2012 at 2:32 AM, Peter Baker <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:b.tarde@gmail.com">b.tarde@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Congratulations on a really beautiful site! The layout is simple,<br> elegant and comprehensible and I really love the color scheme. I like<br> it that the samples use ligatures and contextual alternative where<br> available (though I suppose this can happen only in Firefox).<br> <br> Here's a very short wish list. I think the categories ought to be more<br> prominent, since I imagine that most people looking for fonts on the<br> site will be in search of specialized things: a good text font, a<br> modern display font, whatever. Right now it appears that the<br> categories only appear on the search results page: many visitors will<br> never find them. I notice that you can also search by category: could<br> visitors be informed of this somehow?<br> <br> I'm not sure if there's any rule for ordering fonts in the catalogue,<br> which is already big enough to be a little inconvenient to browse (and<br> I'm sure it will get much bigger pretty soon). It would be nice if it<br> could be filtered and/or sorted. On (for example) <a href="http://art.gnome.org" target="_blank">art.gnome.org</a> you<br> can sort by name or by popularity, and on some other sites by number<br> of downloads and date. The usual thing, I believe, is for the default<br> to be order by name. Of course searching or choosing a category is in<br> effect filtering the collection, so perhaps a drop-down list would be<br> redundant for that purpose, though I did find myself looking for one<br> and not finding it.<br> <br> Just wishes, as I've said. The site is beautiful and functional right now.<br> <span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br> Peter Baker<br> </font></span><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br> On Fri, Apr 6, 2012 at 12:51 PM, Jon Phillips <<a href="mailto:jon@fabricatorz.com">jon@fabricatorz.com</a>> wrote:<br> > Now the hard work continues :) We need more fonts, friends, and funds<br> > (donations :)<br> ><br> > Cheerz!<br> ><br> > Jon<br> ><br> > On Fri, Apr 6, 2012 at 11:43 PM, Robert Martinez <<a href="mailto:mail@mray.de">mail@mray.de</a>> wrote:<br> >> Applause!<br> >><br> >> This is great news!
