Need to get a Font Manager for OS X - Lion

Not sure what the best ones are out there right now. Previously used Suitcase on our G5. Is FontExplorer X the best one out there now? Thanks,
OS X 10.7.3
Mac Pro

Must say its Font Explorer Pro (FEP) for me! (MacPro OSX 10.6.8 Indesign Creative Suite 4, Indesign 5.5)
When I first started this job they had suitcase and I found that program really limiting. But I also had never used it before and knew very little about it.
FEP has many things that I like about it.
1. Although most people lean away from font auto activation the one that comes with FEP has been working real smooth, a few second delay when opening files while it starts what font is required.
2. Font Preview is amazing, select the fonts you want to compare with a typeface you have and you have transparent view and slide show.
3. Font Groups: Where you can put all fonts for particular jobs into smart sets.
4. Search files and discover which fonts where used inside that file and save that as a font set
5. There is also a server version of the program (we do not have but would like to "anyone from FontExplorer listening donations accepted ")
6. Application Sets: Really handy for auto activating fonts used only in certain programs.
7. Good Conflict control.
The list could possibly go on and on, in other words, love FEP and highly recommend it.
@ Steve
As I remember it the more fonts you have loaded on a computer the slower or less resources it has to use, I have always been led to believe, keep it slim and fast. I have 1000's of fonts but only around 200 activated at any one time.

    I have checked it once again and there indeed are links for ALUI components for Solaris on SPARC at edelivery.oracle.com. (Officially ALUI supports Solaris on SPARC only)
    If you have looked at Solaris x86, then you must not have found them. Please make sure that you are selecting the righ platform. Also, make sure that you click on the Aqualogic media pack so as to get the lists of the components included in it. (Point to Note: You need to go to the next level)
    For whichever component you are not able to find, try looking for it in the Metalink (My Oracle Support) if you have a support contract.

  • 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.

  • I need to get the serial number for my ipod can i find it on itunes?

    Can I get the serial number for my ipod from itunes?

    Do the following:
    Launch iTunes on your computer.
    Hold down your Control key, then on the menu bar in iTunes click iTunes>About iTunes (Mac) or Help>About iTunes(PC).
    Any previously synced devices will scroll in a pop-up window; press the space bar to stop scrolling so you can write down the serial number.

  • Need to Prevent Adobe Application Manager for upgrading to Creative Cloud

    I have successfully packaged Dreamweaver CS5&CS5.5 via Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition v2.1 and after a successfully deployed via SCCM Dreamweaver runs perfect. Unfortunatly upon the first launch of the icon on the desktop of "Adobe Application Manager" it's self upgrading to Creative Cloud.  This is a problem.  In this enterprise deployment I have updates set to manual and my AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat is set to the below which should be preventing this to my understanding <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Preferences> <Suppressed>1</Suppressed> </Preferences>

    Thank you for getting back to me, currently my work around
    is to have the deployment delete the two “Adobe Application Manager.lnk”
    icons from both the desktop and the start menu for each OS version.  Not
    exactly how I would like to have to do it however my
    “AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat” does not seem to block Adobe Application
    Manager from updating.

  • I am 13 but going into high school next year and possibly an elite boarding school that is 9 hours away from my town. I need to get a mac air for school purposes.How can convince my parents to let me get one?

    My house has always had macs and my parents don't like pcs. I don't either. They are slow and so far behind from macs.  So i am going into high schoo next year and parents don't let me on the computer without asking and have them all password protected. I did have my own ibook g4 but it broke randomly. My mom says i will isolate myself from too much scree time and get depressed but i love macs and i would like to work in an apple store someday but i'm not even allowed to buy my own ipod touch with my own money. But my mom has an new imac, ipad and  iphone and ipod and all of this has been gifts to her. But i really need a computer for school. I have written lists of good reasons not like i want it but good ones and asked nicely but my mom just says because and thats the only reason i need to know. and by the way she is a teacher so she thinks technogly is evil. How can i get the mac air??

    I really do not want to enter a family discussion about what you should or should not have.  If the MBA is to support your school work then you need to present your arguments on that point.  If there is a concern about using a Mac when the school supports PCs then point out a Mac can also use Windows on a BootCamp partition so it is fully compatible with both systems.

    The key is ok for you to get free update to Windows 8.1 from Windows Store.

  • Need help getting the wireless driver for my x120e.

    This has been the most difficult thing ever. I have literally tried all of the wireless LAN and WAN drivers under all 4 of the x120e driver options. Which is odd because there are 4 options for the x120e when you search for it. As shown here: (http://i.imgur.com/4K9sB.png). I would love some help in getting the correct driver. Any and all help is appreciated, let me know if there is any other information needed.
    Solved!

    no worries.
    you mentioned that you have tried a number of driver packs, to no avail.
