What is the best font manager for Mac OS X?
CreativeTechs (66 points) | Mon, 2006-04-24 00:24We recently put four major font management utilities through a series of head-to-head comparisons: Apple's Font Book, Extensis Suitcase Fusion, Insider FontAgent Pro, and Linotype's FontExplorer X.
Take a look. I haven't been able to find a breakdown like this anywhere else. I'd appreciate any feedback:

We were shooting for more than an isolated software review. This project compared these four major font managers on three key criteria:
- Installation and Setup
- Interface
- Auto-Activation
I broke down what I like and don't like about each utility. More importantly we've created almost an hour of QuickTime video clips showing these different font managers in action.
This project site does not officially go live until Monday morning. Any quick feedback would be well appreciated.

Very well written, from a user's point of view!

Hey Jim! I haven't seen you around for such a long time. Don't blame you the speed was unbearable.
The slow load-time was a killer for a while. Still, I've been dropping in as often as I can. It's been pretty busy for me lately.
