Type.com VS ShellNewHandler

• All-in-one font toolkit
  Type.com bundles font management, a font editor, and a marketplace/library in one platform, reducing the need for multiple separate tools for designers and typographers.
• Cloud-based font management
  Fonts and projects can be synced and managed via the cloud, making it easier to access your font library and settings across multiple devices.
• Font editing capabilities
  The platform includes tools for creating and customizing typefaces, which is useful for designers who want to build custom fonts without needing separate specialized software like FontForge or Glyphs.
• Large font library access
  Users get access to a substantial library of fonts, which can save time searching for fonts across multiple foundries or marketplaces.
• Useful for teams and collaboration
  Features aimed at syncing fonts across devices and potentially sharing with team members make it convenient for design teams working on consistent branding or projects.

Possible disadvantages

• Subscription cost
  Type.com operates on a subscription-based pricing model, which can be a downside for occasional users or those who prefer one-time purchases for fonts and tools.
• Limited compared to specialized tools
  While it offers font editing, it may not be as robust or feature-rich as dedicated font design software like Glyphs or FontLab for professional type designers.
• Learning curve for advanced features
  New users, especially those unfamiliar with font design or management systems, may find some of the more advanced features non-intuitive at first.
• Dependency on internet connectivity
  Since it's cloud-based, users may face limitations or reduced functionality without a stable internet connection, unlike offline desktop font tools.
• Potential compatibility issues
  Some users may encounter compatibility issues when exporting fonts or projects to other software or platforms not fully integrated with Type.com's ecosystem.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
