FontExplorer X

What do you like best?

I have too many fonts to load into the operating system all at once, and FontExplorer allows me to load them on demand, when an application requests them. It does that reliably.

What do you dislike?

It is on the high end pricewise of font managers.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

The "conflict" search tool can be buggy, on the previous version it crashed on me. This is now fixed, but handle with care.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The OSX operating system has native font management capabilities (Font Book), but it lacks the automatic activation feature that for me is a must have. The benefit is that I don't have to worry about accumulating way too many fonts, this will not bog down the OS, FontExplorer takes care of it.
