Install a free iTunes-like font management app

If you are a general user, you probably won't get much benefit from this. To be honest, even as a graphic designer I've gotten along quite well -- despite a library of thousands of fonts -- with just Apple's Font Book. I pretty much work with a basic subset of fonts, and then activate and deactivate special fonts (mostly display or decorative faces) as needed. Home users might appreciate the ability to preview fonts, catch conflicts, and maybe even gain a better understanding of where your fonts are and what all you have. But unless you are regularly adding new fonts or working with type, you might not need or benefit from a font manager.

For people who juggle lots of fonts, and are very particular about what fonts are active (and which versions, technologies, etc.), a font manager is very useful.
