FontBook ReviewNo clear way to unistall the software - Version: 4.5, 5/4/2007 12:57AM PST

iprek
I downloaded & installed the software.
My first objection was the installation process ( pkg installer + reboot )
Then I decided to get rid of the software but I could not find in the documentation a procedure for a clean uninstall. Also contacted their support through their website and received no answer.

FontBook ReviewPrints one font per page - Version: 4.5, 4/8/2007 07:35PM PST

Although Font Book 4.5 offers numerous page layouts to display font characters, I haven't managed to get the app to print any of them reliably. Most often, it comes out of the printer with only one font per page, ending up printing hundreds of pages. Not very useful!

FontBook ReviewIgnores actual keyboard selection - Version: 4.5, 3/14/2007 11:59PM PST

ashkenaz
While this application purports to give the key combinations necessary to produce a given glyph, it in fact ignores the actual active keyboard being used and limits the user to chosing from an arbitrary set of keyboard layouts which may or may not even be installed. Worse yet, it knows nothing about many standard Macintosh keyboard layouts, even those which come inside the U.S. Tiger box. How does one generate a letter using the Polish keyboard? the Hebrew-QUERTY keyboard? (to name only two). FontBook doesn't have a clue.
