What font management software do you use?

I've tried my best with Suitcase, but today it's just decided to sh*t itself halfway through a project, and it's no way near stable enough with CS5 yet.

I got very pissed off and just removed all it's plug-ins. lol. That'll teach it.

Anyone use anything different?

Tanks.

 

[welsh172]

which version of suitcase you running? has been stable for me...

 

[mas]

I use fontbook FTW

 

[Christopher]

Fontbook... LOL. That's not really font management.

I'm using Fusion 2. And CS5 Premium.

Have you tried FontExplorer from Linotype?

Never used it, I probably should use something but I just have all my fonts active.

Are you a designer chris?

 

[Christopher]

Yeah. I've downloaded the trial of FontExplorer... we'll see.

I don't have a massive collection of fonts, but enough that I don't want them clogging up my startups. TBF, I'm just inpatient.

 

[Biffarino]

never had any real bothers with fusion 2 and i need to use a lot of fonts. admittedly i'm on cs4 still, but interesting to hear there's a few probs with cs5 and fusion 2....

MS Paint.

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, I really should've waited TBH.

It ran perfectly alongside CS4. I can't activate the core now, so it's turning all my fonts off. I have just the system fonts to design with. lol.

 

[JJ!]

I'm on CS4, but thinking of upgrading to 5. Is it worth the upgrade?

 

[Christopher]

Depends really. Where do you spend most of your time?

If it's in InDesign, then it's probably not worth it. Photoshop has had the biggest makeover... some of the re-touch tools are very easy to get good results with now!

 

[mas]

Who do you work for?

 

[Christopher]

Me. lol.

I can be a c**t, but I always get the time off that I want.

 

[mas]

Oh,

Got a site?
