[0.6.0] — 2026-09-21

Everything here comes from one report by a tester running Fedora on a 1366x768
ThinkPad.

Added

• Interface scale. ZFontManager now measures the usable area of your screen
  at startup and picks a scale that fits the whole interface into it, so a
  small or low-resolution display shows the entire layout instead of a cropped
  one. Settings → Appearance → Interface scale overrides it: Auto, or a
  fixed 80–125% if you would rather decide, which also serves anyone on a large
  display who simply wants the interface bigger.
• Reduce transparency. A new Appearance setting that replaces the frosted
  glass with solid panels. It is easier to read, it is the accessible choice,
  and it removes the most expensive thing the app draws — which makes a real
  difference on older integrated graphics.
• Filter by file format. OpenType, TrueType, WOFF and WOFF2, in the filter
  menu alongside classification and language support.
• Filter by typographic feature. Swashes, stylistic alternates,
  discretionary ligatures, small caps, oldstyle figures and fractions. The
  feature list is now read while the library is indexed rather than only when a
  font is selected, so it can be filtered on. If you are hunting for faces with
  alternate letterforms, this is the fastest way to find them.
• Find fonts containing a specific character. Type any character into the
  filter menu and the library narrows to the fonts whose character map covers
  it. The search reads every font file, so it runs on demand rather than
  continuously, and it reports the codepoint it resolved your character to.
• Glyph count. Shown in the inspector, and available as a sort order.
• Collapsible sidebar sections. Browse, Collections and Tags each fold away,
  and stay folded between launches.
• Sort by glyph count, next to name, styles and size.

Fixed

• The window could open taller than the screen. The default size is right
  for the displays the app was designed against, but nothing checked whether it
  fitted. On a 1366x768 screen roughly a hundred pixels of the app sat below
  the bottom edge once the desktop panel was counted, which among other things
  hid the inspector's Tags section. The window is now measured against the
  monitor's usable area — panels, docks and taskbars excluded — and clamped and
  centred to fit. The configured default is unchanged, so nothing moves on a
  display that was already big enough.
• The context menu could not be scrolled. It had no height limit, so with
  enough tags the "Tag all" menu grew past the screen and lost its top. It now
  scrolls, and can no longer be positioned off the top or left edge.
• Panels turned unreadable when the compositor could not blur. Every
  overlay — the context menu, Compare, Settings, the selection bar — was a
  ten-percent-white surface that relied entirely on a backdrop blur to become
  legible. Where that blur silently does nothing, the panel was a haze. The new
  Reduce transparency setting makes them solid.
• No resize handles. ZFontManager draws its own title bar, and drawing your
  own means the window has no resize border unless you provide one. There was
  none, so the edges were a one-pixel guessing game. All four edges and corners
  are now grabbable, with the right cursor on each. This affected Windows and
  macOS too.
• The online font browser ignored the preview size slider, rendering every
  preview at a fixed size while the rest of the library followed the control.

Notes

• The tiny flickering squares reported on Intel HD 4000 with the crocus driver
  are not drawn by the app and were not reproducible away from that hardware.
  Reduce transparency removes the most likely trigger; if you see them, please
  try it and say whether it helps.
