Install a free iTunes-like font management app

"Unfortunately, as mentioned in other comments here, it also requires fonts to be copied or moved a set location, so it's no better in that respect."

Other comments here seem to indicate that is not the case.

Install a free iTunes-like font management app
Authored by: mm2270 on Sep 22, '05 10:23:26PM

Yes, thank you. I read those comments after I posted my comment. Unfortunately, when I turned off the management feature, then auto-activation didn't work, as in it didn't even attempt to open the fonts. At least before it tried and got stuck. This led me to believe I turned off all font management. I still contend the app needs work, and apparently Linotype feels the same, otherwise this would be a final 1.0 release.

As I said before though, I'm glad to see competition in this market. It was looking pretty grim for font management on OS X for a while there, with only apps like Suitcase and the now nearly defunct Font Reserve. For now, I'll stick with FontAgent Pro, but I have an eye on this little app.
