This WTFont used to be super finicky, but at least I could get it to work (when I first read about it more than a year ago), now it gives no errors if it can’t find something, it just searches forever - I was in the middle of some design work and let it go for a half hour last night (just to see...)

Cropping/selecting the text seems unnecessarily weird considering how many native language API’s have this built in - image constantly re-sizes, re-centers, and re-sizes the crop/selection box in a way that doesn’t seem to have ANY correlation to what I’m doing to it, if you have text near the edge of the image, don’t even bother. I’ll get the selection box just right with my fingers, let go, and it snaps to something completely different, and drops (at best) the character at the end of the string I was trying to select.

Take aways:
-Fix text selector
-Maybe a better loading modal
-Give errors on timeout or empty result set

One thing I'm never going to be able to understand is how an app can work almost flawlessly and all of the sudden after an update (updates only purpose is to make things better) the app stops working. Maybe the auto selection sounded like a good thing to add, but it is really a nightmare, where before I was able to draw a box where the font was located in the picture, no worries I have to go through deleting endlessly boxes that show out of nowhere without even the possibility to get rid of the auto selection option.

Works fine if you’re looking for a simple font that comes installed on basically every single device ever made. Does not work like the “magical” font finder it claims to be. I have looked for several different fonts with no results. It just “searches” forever. I’ve deleted and redownloaded several times to see if it was just a bug but that doesn’t seem to be the case. It’s faster to scroll through every font.
