An informative Apple guide to font management
Authored by: imageworx on Jan 30, '04 11:45:52AM

More than likely, Apple is going to update the file. If you read the PDF, you'll notice its "10.2" specific. Now that Panther supercedes it, and some Fontbook and Application changes later, its likely time for an updated PDF.

I am still occupied with designers migrating from beige to silver and fonts/management are the #1 problem/delay.

#2 problem is a suitabe RIP replacement (other than keeping the older machine alive and running Epson's Stylus RIP).

I provide that pdf to clients and "ask" they read it and understand it. Then I refer them to Suitcase X1 as a font manager replacement to ATM Deluxe. (Font Agent Pro is ok, and Font Reserver (preferred) has been absorbed by Extensis...)

I just wish Suitcase handled .OTF fonts a little more gracefully; unifying them into families automatically would be nice. Along the same lines, a replacement for Adobe Type Reunion (for applications that don't use the Font Panel) would be a godsend.
