    Designers: Organizing Fonts

    How do you organize your fonts?

    Do you have a program to do it?
    Do you have a print out sample of each of your fonts?
    How do you select the right font for the job?

      There's not really much of a way to organize them. You can use TheFontThing to view them, but once they're installed, you almost have to just know your collection and what's installed, and remember common ones that you like to use, and some specialty fonts for various projects. You select the font that fits the job. ie, you don't want to use a thin Serif font if the title is BIG ASSES, and you don't want to use a Techy font if it's for a Gonzo job.

          There's a tool from Adobe, I think it's called Font Manager. But I haven't had a look at it, yet.

              That might be helpful. LMK if you find one.

                          Extensis Suitcase. Load only the fonts you need for a particular project... no need to load 1000 others you dont need, slowing down your machine.

                              if you happen to use a mac, linotype makes a great font manager, and it is FREE, just google linotype fontexplorer x
