Is it worth trying another application? I asked a couple of our favorite designers and type experts to share their thoughts on the topic.

MAC FONTCASE PRO

For the past several years I had been using FontAgent Pro by Insider Software (Mac & PC, $99.95 USD)- don’t ask me why-and before that I relied on the now-defunct Adobe Type Manager Deluxe. I recently tried Fontcase with high hopes-it definitely has the best design of the bunch, and I really wanted to like it-but unfortunately it is painfully slow if you have a large library. The application won an Apple Student Design Award in 2009 and comes recommended by FontShop. with a favorite were largely split between Linotype FontExplorer X (Mac, $79 USD) and Bohemian Coding’s Fontcase (Mac, $56 USD)-with some Extensis Suitcase Fusion (Mac & PC, $99.95 USD) sprinkled in.įontExplorer and Suitcase have been around for a number of years, while Fontcase is the promising new kid on the block. Post the results of that question please! We've been having a debate about that in my office. there something better out there? It soon became apparent that I am not alone in my quest: What is your favorite font management application? In hopes of finally discovering a better solution, I asked our Twitter followers earlier this week: It’s a huge investment to try out a new solution, so that typically means putting up with the bloated or sluggish software in exchange for some ‘time-saving’ features like auto-activation and font previews. Over the years I have tried a number of software applications, but never felt completely comfortable with what I've used. Personally, I have always struggled to keep my font library organized. To make it easy to backup your library, Fontcase adds a new export feature that is smart enough to do only incremental backups of your library including any metadata in a universal XML file we have no intention of locking you in.Unless your name is Massimo, chances are you have more than three or four typefaces in your collection. Fontcase 1.5 helps by automatically warning you whenever this occurs and it'll let you disable one of them easily. It desirable to avoid activating the same font multiple times and yet it's easy to get this wrong. If they're not present in the library, Fontcase will automatically import them. As of version 1.5, Fontcase will now also periodically check the standard font folders to see if any fonts have been added lately. Fontcase will automatically activate any missing fonts and also deactivate them again when Fontcase quits.

Apple was kind enough to award Fontcase with an Apple Design Award this year and we're confident the new Fontcase 1.5 will add further value for our customers.Īuto-activation works as one would expect without the need to install any plug-ins.

Fontcase 1.5 adds auto-activation, duplicates-detection and more while still keeping the focus of the application simple. Fontcase has an intuitive and uncluttered interface while it may look simplistic, there are a lot features built in.
