Giving Font Book some love

By Laurie A. Duncan

Alec Fromm, a Canadian Mac consultant, reviews the pros and cons of using Apple's Font Book in a professional environment, for part 2 of CreativeGuy's 3-part series on font management applications. The verdict? Alec prefers Font Book over Extensis Suitcase and gives high marks to Font Book's built-in duplicate handler and clean, simple interface.

Font Book may not be the best solution for everyone, but it does seem to get better with ever OS release. If you recently upgraded to Tiger and haven't taken another look at Font Book, you might want to revisit it. For an alternative to Font Book, check out CreativeGuy's previous post about Font Agent Pro.

I rely on Font Book for my own use, but I am not a power user when it comes to font management. My needs are simple and I am not a professional designer. What font management apps do you rely on and why?
