Feedback from first-time use

Here’s some first-time use feedback using the free plan. I’m guessing you already know about all of these, but here they are:

* Fonts not listed alphabetically :-? Random isn’t the most ... useful sort order ;-)
* No way to tell a single font from a font family in list view (or even if there’s bold/italic)
* Some font families are displayed as individual fonts in list view eg Tenby, M+
* No way to swap between, overlay or side-by-side compare fonts
* Opening multiple tabs to compare fonts is foiled by font about text, meaning the fonts aren’t in the same place across tabs. Please move this text under the font until side-by-side comparisons are possible.
* message above Publish button in kit editor should only appear after changes have been made (until it’s manually closed). I thought publishing hadn’t been successful and tried again.
* A listing by popularity would be *really* useful, especially if it respected style/tag sorts
* A “related fonts” or “this works well when paired with” info panel would rock. But you already know that :)

Edit: A few more comments:

* Search would be nice (less relevant if fonts are listed alphabetically)
* I’d really like to see what language(s) fonts support, and to have the ability to filter by this in the same way as by style/tag. It appears M+ fonts are the only personal fonts that support Japanese. As an example of what I’m talking about, check out the language support listing here: http://klim.co.nz/karbon_charset.php

Thanks for your time

Ah, I saw the v1.1 announcement in Twitter, and thought that might be one of the localisations to which you referred. Good show, all! I’ll spread the word...

Oooookay, after waiting 5 months I guess I’ll just change the title to English then. Because hey, all those foreigners should just learn it already, right?

5 months and not even an official response?

Sorry if this is a solved problem, but I was unable to resist

Slideshow transcript doesn’t include Japanese

Most of the presentation is in Japanese, but none of it is included. I guess this will be the same for other multibyte languages

Slideshow’s multibyte title is displaying incorrectly

The slideshow’s title in the My Slidespace view is displaying incorrectly:

<a href="/boblet/ss-presentation-695908/" style="" title="ユーザビリティ テストと
シルバーバック" class="blue_link_bold" target="" id="" ><wbr>ユ�<wbr>�ザ
�<wbr>��リ<wbr>テ�<wbr>� テ<wbr>ス�<wbr>�と
�<wbr>��ル<wbr>バ�<wbr>�バ�<wbr>��ク</a>

The title isn’t mojibake on the actual slideshow page:
http://www.slideshare.net/boblet/ss-p...
or if I edit it.

It’s working today. Rock.

I also get the same error in Safari, and this one in Firefox (both in about 15 seconds):
"Page load error
Connection Interrupted
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again."

I haven’t got my confirmation email (despite the address being correct), but I can’t change it to another one.

I’m also unable to upload anything;bulk upload stalls at 4%, and individual upload gives a "Safari can’t open the page because the server is not responding” error (after about 45 sec), and a hang on FF. The upload is a 3.7MB pdf.

How about a SlideShare.com fail whale? ;-)
