    Anybody use 'font manager' software?

    if so which one and how useful is it to you? i have too many fonts, scrolling through them in Photoshop and Illustrator is now a big pain.
    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

      I use The Font Thing
      http://members.ozemail.com.au/~scef/tft.html
      it works great for browsing fonts, allows you to insert sample text, has a character map and you can create collections like scripts, handwriting, etc. for easier browsing
      The specs show its only for up to win 98 but it runs on xp w/o a hitch.
      its freeware.

                          I contend that we are both an atheist. I just belive in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

                            Tried this one, Nexus Font http://xiles.net/ , it's free and quite good - but don't see it having a feature for temporary installing fonts. So i'll try Font Explorer next.

                            i'm gonna clear out the Windows Fonts folder of everything but the most commonly used fonts.

                            i have over 6,000 fonts on my drives - 95% of them useless.

                              this is a pretty neat adobe air app
