I spent the better part of a week experimenting and learning some of the “peculiarities” of Font Book and felt I had found an adequate replacement for my long time favourite font management software. These issues and their subsequently slow fixes had me searching for something simple and reliable.ĭid you switch to Font Book from another font management app, and if so, why? My experiences with Suitcase running under OS X Panther weren’t without numerous issues and updates to the popular font management application were fairly slow to arrive. But upon the release of Apple OS X Panther, I decided to give Font Book a serious try. Prior to upgrading my company’s Macs to Apple’s OS X, Extensis Suitcase was the preferred choice for font management. What font management apps have you tried, and which one did you settle on using? With over 4,500 agents as part of this network, the demand to produce innovative and unique materials in a timely manner was grueling and intense. These materials included traditional stationery, flyers of all shapes & sizes and corporate promotional & communications items for the Canadian head office.
Until a year and a half ago, I owned and operated a small printing company supplying materials predominantly to one of Canada’s leading real estate companies. In what type of environment do you use your Mac?
