The article is very comprehensive and includes some QuickTime movies that show the installation process of each of these programs as well as a look at each of the interfaces. Craig has also done a good job of looking past the basic propaganda from these companies and has given some very solid conclusions about what is good and not so good about each one of these products – something that I have not often seen in some of the more mainstream sites.
Here is the press release from CreativeTechs and the links to this special report… |
 CreativeTechs QuickTips #92
Week of April 24, 2006
Special Report: CreativeTechs Font Manager Shoot Out.
"What is the best font manager for Mac OS X?"
We get that question a lot. Which led us to create this special report. We'll put today's four major font management utilities through a series of head-to-head comparisons. If you work with fonts in Mac OS X take a look, because we haven't been able to find a breakdown like this anywhere else:

This is more than an isolated software review. In this report we'll compare these four major font managers on three key criteria:
- Installation and Setup
- Interface
- Auto-Activation
We'll share what we like and don't like about each utility. More importantly we'll give you an opportunity to see for yourself. We've created almost an hour of QuickTime video clips showing these different font managers in action.
I hope you find this a useful resource.
Craig Swanson
PS. If you know any other creative professionals who might find this head-to-head comparison handy, please forward this email on to them. We'll get back to our normal tips format next week.

As the product manager for Insider Software I have been reluctant to publish an article like this. Even though I agree with about 90% this article and many of Craig's comparative takes on these programs I think that what I would say on this subject would probably be considers suspect. So I really appreciate Craig’s efforts and I plan to continue to link to the CreativeTechs site so that this resource can be found by any reader that comes through FontGeek.net. |
