Title: Font management in 10.4
Post by: JoeDu on October 10, 2006, 09:40:05 AM

I'm about ready to take the plunge for 3rd party software for font management. Font Book is the pits. I'm not a huge fan of legacy Suitcase. What ar ethe favorites out there?

Joe, there aren't a lot of choices out there right now - Suitcase Fusion 12.1 was released in July and since January, Suitcase Fusion has combined Suitcase and Font Reserve (Extensis bought DiamondSoft).

It does get pretty good reviews from MacWorld on its initial release in Jan. '06:

The other commercial option appears to be Font Agent Pro - review here:

And there is one freeware option that gets high marks:

Note - read beyond the first three!
