Font managers reviews and opinions
Grorgy:
Ohh and for serious font stuff, not that i do a lot of it, but i have Main Type from high logic, see the specials page for the discount! ;)
tomos:
I have Main Type as well
but -
1) I dont need to use it much
2) I've never used anything else so I cant really compare it to others ...
It certainly is very easy to use and I like it
cranioscopical:
I'm a long-time user of Adobe Type Manager.
ATM is showing its age a bit.
When I switched to my current machine a month or two back I installed only MainType for font management (2.1.1 in my case).
FWIW I can't fault it.
Another candidate is Extensis Suitcase. Page is here
Suitcase helpfully installs plug-ins for. e.g. Adobe suite applications.
I find that if I don't have Suitcase running the helpers (helpfully) point out that fact.
Although that's really a benefit, (essential, really, for serious stuff) I find it slightly annoying.
That's not because of anything that Suitcase does but simply due to the fact that it's another reminder that I'm as dumb as a telegraph pole.
I haven't found a free FM that does exactly what I want, nor have I looked at all of them.
Ampa:
About a year ago I tried all of the software available, and settled on MainType.
It had all the features I needed, and has a nice DC discount too.
gexecuter:
I though NexusFont was pretty good with useful features. tough truthfully i deleted it since i don't need no font manager
