Font management tools for Mac


It's been a few years since I've visited this topic, one which has been one of Apples biggest issues since OS9.


Font management. I have been using Font Explorer however I've never been very impressed as it crashes a lot and my font database has corrupted a few times which is infuriating.


Can anyone suggest their favourites and why?


Thanks very much indeed.



Answer




I've been using FontAgentPro from www.insidersoftware.com for over a decade. Good app.


I tried FontXplorer back when it was free, it was good, but I wasn't overly impressed at that time. I'm sure it's gotten better since I saw it last.


I've also tried Extensis Suitcase - That pile will NEVER touch any system I own again.


Of course, the Mac OS has FontBook built in. You could use that. Although it's nowhere near as feature rich as the others.


Just my 2¢.
