I should have updated my notes – I actually held back on buying this after we started testing further throughout the week. Auto-activation was a big factor, but we were having some import font bugs that were crashing the application frequently. Try as we might, we couldn’t get around it.

So for now, I’m still with Font Explorer… and I’m still waiting for them to email me back about the server edition. Hopefully someday they let me know:)

@Brady – Agreed that Font Book is terrible, I’d say even for non designers.

I’ve taken FontCase for a spin, and while there’s a lot to like about it, I’m sticking with Font Explorer X. Why?

1. Auto-activation.
2. Auto-activation.

FEX also got me out of the dark days of Extensis Suitcase, and I feel a strong loyalty because of it.

Sure, I understand that – but if that’s the case, I’m sure those people wouldn’t even need to be talking about if $40+ is worth it for software they don’t need. But Font Book is trash, that program has been error prone since the entry OS X days, even Leopard’s build.

@Brady: For most who aren’t involved with design, having a font manager is pointless. Especially when we do have Font Book for the Mac.
