Hi everyone! 👋

I'm excited to announce that Fontager 1.2.0 has just been released! If you haven't heard of it before, Fontager is a modern, feature-rich font viewer alternative to Windows built-in font viewer, built with WinUI 3 and the Windows App SDK.

🆕 What's New in 1.2.0

The latest release focuses on administrator elevation flexibility for system-wide font installations:

• UAC for All-Users Install - Install fonts to C:\Windows\Fonts with minimal elevation. Fontager stays non-elevated while previewing; Windows only prompts for admin when you actually install.
• Run Entire App as Administrator - For users who want the whole application elevated as the default font handler. No need to elevate just for previews anymore.
• Improved Process Elevation Checks - Smart elevation logic and on-demand helpers to keep the app lightweight when admin mode isn't needed.

🚀 Since the 1.0.0 Release...

A lot has changed under the hood:

1.1.0 brought the big redesign:

• Complete font parsing rebuild with proper Unicode block and cmap support - no more empty glyphs in CJK, emoji, or symbol fonts
• WOFF2 full-stack support - metadata extraction, preview, and installation
• Font uninstall from Settings (finally works reliably!)
• Massive glyph rendering performance fix for fonts with 10k+ glyphs
• Inno Setup installer for Windows
