Good Font manager for Windows 7/8

Hello,
Like the topic says, I'm looking for a good font manager for my Windows machine. I saw NexusFont at xiles.net, and wanted to see if anyone had experience with that or any other programs. Maybe something Adobe has that I overlooked. Obviously, I'm new to the font management game.
Thanks!

I downloaded the trial of this (Extensis Suitcase Fusion), installed it, and Photoshop came grinding to a halt. I had to uninstall. Any ideas why? I'm running Windows 7, CC 2014. Still looking for a decent font manager on Windows.

Font Book in 10.7 is retarded. I need recommendations for a good font manager for OSX

On our 10.5.8 G5, I'm using Extensis Suitcase.
Our new Mac Pro is running 10.7 and I need to install fonts, but Font Book seems to cry about just about every font I want to install. So, where are the best font managers for OSX as of right now? Is Extensis still the best? Thoughts? Thanks,
Chris

I know what your're talking about. I used to do phone support for an ISP.
Anyway, this last one that has me up in arms says this:
"1 serious error was found. Do not use this font."
This is in the Font Validation window when I try to install into Font Book. It shows the font name "Serpentine-Bold-Bold.ttf" in the window with an expand triangle to the left. To the far right is a red circle with a white X in it. Ahh screw it, here's a screenshot....
This font works perfectly fine on our G5 running 10.5.8

Font Management for PC

Hi,
I was surprised that I didn't find any thread on Font Management. It can be a designer's nightmare if there is no good font management.
On the mac I am using FontExplorer X. It was free till lately and very good. Now it is a commercial application.
My problem, though, is on the Windows machines. I have Bitsream Font Navigator, that came with the Corel Suite. It is not good, but at least it reduces the headache a bit.
What are the best options for a mixed (Mac and Windows) environment? With or without a server.

Jim, I have FontExplorerX 1.2.3. I already downloaded the trial and will probably purchase the Pro version.
Thanks for the windows link. A few weeks ago I found it but didn't have time to download. since then, they removed the link from their site, or I was unable to find it.
I know I am not alone, and many other print designers have the same issues, and yet I could not find any post in this Print Design Discussion about font management.

Good font manager?

Does anyone know of a good font manager/browser for Linux? In Windows, I have several (FontExpert, Typograf, and the font manager plugins in Total Commander, the best program on earth, and what kept me in Windows for so long... :-) ), but I haven't found anything even slightly comparable for Linux.
What I'm looking for is:
- Access both to installed and uninstalled fonts.
- A preview function with easy access to the full character set - preferably also with a good quick-zoom function for single characters (e.g. click-on-character zooms to huge) - to a test text, and to full font info.
- Comparison utility between fonts.
- Installation of fonts from the program.
- The option to temporarily enable or disable groups/packages of fonts, so that, e.g. music fonts are not loaded if I only work with text files.
- Organizing such groups
Does this exist, somewhere that I haven't found? I'd be happy if it did...

No problem - I'm not new to open source. On the contrary: when I found that most of the software I was using on a daily basis was open source, I figured I might as well go all the way. I still have a windows partition left on the computer, but I rarely use it.
And if I could make a font program, I would...
About the KDE font manager: well, it's decent, but nothing more. As far as I can see, there is a font viewer (KFontView), which is the barest of the barest, and then the font installer in the Control Center, which is just that: a font installer, but not a font manager. Opcion is decent, but apart from the ability to view uninstalled fonts, it doesn't offer much, really. Gucharmap is another program which seems to come close to what I want, but still not all the way...

Power Manager for Windows 8.1

Where is Power Manager for Windows 8.1? (For ThinkPad Edge series laptops)
There is a "Lenovo Power Management Driver", but no application/software to go along with it.
Does anyone know?

Good day and welcome to the community.
Please see: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8-and-8-1/ThinkPad-software-for-Windows-8/td-p/899865
There is no official support for ThinkVantage Power Manager beyond Windows 7.
There are reports that some have installed it, but there are warnings that it may(?) clash with Windows 8/8.1 native power management functions and potentially cause system instability.
Regards.

Multiple Library Manager for Windows

I want to create multiple music libraries - one for wav files (for streaming to home stereo) and one for Apple Lossless files (for synching with iPod). Can someone recommend a good iTunes Library Manager for Windows? And where to get it?

iTunes is the only library manager for iTunes.
Use the shift key depressed while opening iTunes option. This allows you to pick a library for use during that session.

SCCM 2012 Software Update Management for Windows Servers and how to automatic set SCOM maintenance mode?

Hi,
We planning to go one level higher to automat and have more dynamic Software Update Management for Windows Servers. We have SCCM 2012 R2, SCOM 2012 R2 and SCO 2012 R2.
Our plan is to pur server in an AD-Group to get Update Schedule, from the servers will be importet to an Collection for Automatic Update and reboot. If I understand Everything right SCOM can't read AD-Group and put then in an Schedule maintenance mode. SCOM
can read reg value as exempel.
IS there any smar way to make the SCOM Maintenance Mode Schedule dynamic?
I found this

You could use Orchestrator to put the servers from a specific collection, or AD group, in maintenance mode in SCOM. For an example see:

How do i run a new software program (Investment Account Manager for Windows) using Windows emulation software?

How can I run a new software program (Investment Account Manager for Windows) using Windows emulation software?

You will need a licensed copy of Windows 7, and I recommend VMFusion. You can run the program in Unity mode just as if it were a Mac application. Or, you can install Windows in Bootcamp and run the Mac in Windows when you boot and run it that way. Depends on the resources. I prefer the VM method because it is cleaner and gives you more options as far as backups, etc.

Battery gauge error running Power Manager for Windows XP version 5.20

Last week on my R61 (8932-CTO), Update Retriever and System Update requested that I download and install ThinkPad Power Manager for Windows XP version 5.20. After rebooting, I immediately received an error box with the following message:
An exception occurred while trying to run"C:\Progra~1\ThinkPad\UTILIT~1\PWRMGRTR.DLL,PwrMgrBkGndMonitor"
As a result of this error, the battery gauge no longer displays correctly. The space where it used to be is blank, but clicking the empty space still gives you the option of starting Power Manager.
What is puzzling about this is that version 5.20 is not available in either in the Driver Matrix, nor on the Downloads and Drivers web page. The version of the software that is presented there is version 5.13.
The driver for ThinkPad Power Manager for Windows XP - version 5.20 can be downloaded from:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/ghu704ww.exe
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/ghu704ww.txt
Another interesting point, is that this version of the driver has, as yet, not been presented to me on my R500 (2714CTO), although both machine types are listed as supported models.
Why are Update Retriever and System Update downloading software that apparently has not been officially released yet? Why is this only happening on my R61 and not on my R500?
And last of all, why has his software been released when it seems to have an obvious problem?
Any explanations would be appreciated.

The pc is aT61p, vista Ult., with PMgt 2.3.

Hi Ran,
Thanks!
I haven't tried it yet.
In the meantime i did more testing and found out that even with only Power Manager version 2.41a installed the latest Intel Pro wireless driver also supported by lenovo is not stabel and FN-F5 or windows network connection also fails to switch the radio back on after a reboot when the radio has been turned off first ;-(
Reading http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67283
over and over I decide to revert back to the old Intel wireless driver listed on this page.

Manutius -- Type 1 font editor for Windows freely available

The German programmer Dr. A. Gebert has authorized the German TypeForum
website to distribute his Manutius 2.0 for Windows font editor free of
charge.
Manutius 2.0 was developed 1994-97 by Dr. Gebert but never got much
publicity despite its amazing functionality. The editor used to cost 100
German Marks but since now the product is out of date, the author donated it
to the website.
The download is ~1.2 MB. The software was developed for Windows 3.1. It
works on Windows 2000/XP but only supports short file names. Also, its user
interface is in German only. It can only edit Type 1 fonts with up to 1000
glyphs.
However, its drawing interface makes very good impression, and the ability
to display the actual PostScript charstring code along with the graphical
representation make the editor an excellent free companion to Adobe OpenType
Font Development Kit.
The download is available at:
http://www.typeforum.de/modules.php?op=modload&
name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=50
(Please unwrap the URL).
Best regards,
Adam Twardoch

Hi roxlankford,
Font Book can read PostScript fonts. But, as you've noted, you don't have the whole font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
Adobe Garamond
AGarBol
AGarBolIta
AGarIta
AGarReg
AGarSem
AGarSemIta
The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You will get exactly what you are having problems with. You can see the fonts, but Font Book won't load them. That's not a problem with Font Book itself. No font manager will load outline fonts without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

Woeful state of font management on windows

anyone out there who has font managment software that
autoactivates in indesign at least
doesn't make your system slow or unstable even with 5000 fonts.
doesn't slow down opening of documents
I've now tried font agent pro (no auto activation in cs6), really crap support, auto activation made photoshop cs5 unstable, failed to activate type 1 fonts in x64 adobe software, clunky
Type DNA manager (no official support for windows 8, no autoactivation, slow, no support?)
Extensis suitcase fusion 4 (delays photoshop docs opening by 25 seconds, delays photoshop opening by 15 seconds, clashes with other software, buggy, crap support).
I'm just about to try maintype, but notice on their support forum issues that havn't been answered for over a month.
Really this is pathetic

FYI for anyone who stumbles on this thread. Maintype font activation does not work with indesign CC and may not ever.
http://forum.high-logic.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4214
which means that the only windows 8 solution for font activation is suitcase.
If anyone knows different, post here!
EDIT: me, I know different! - Apparently this one offers autoactivation, I'm trialing it now
