I had tried out an earlier version of this program, but shied away because I found it too intrusive: the installer demanded my password, which I found suspicious it wanted to take control of my already installed fonts and when it imported fonts, it reported having performed hundreds of 'repairs' to them, without asking my permission and without explaining just what it had done. Recently, however, I’ve put a tentative toe back into the font management waters by taking a look at FontAgent Pro, from Insider Software. So, since the advent of Panther, I’ve kept my font management minimal, using Apple’s own Font Book as described in my ebook 'Take Control of Customizing Panther.' Also, by that time, Extensis had acquired Font Reserve, ending the healthy competition between the two, and the steam seemed to go out of the development on both products. I then tried Extensis’s Suitcase and stayed with it happily for a year or so, but eventually it broke against Panther, and although a revised version was issued, I found it sluggish and undependable.

For many years I was strongly attached to DiamondSoft’s Font Reserve, but it foundered somewhat on the breakers of Mac OS X initially it didn’t support many Mac OS X fonts, and Classic activation was never reliable. In past TidBITS articles, I’ve talked about what a problem font management on the Macintosh has always been, and what steps I’ve taken to alleviate it on my own machine.
