Plus and minuses - Version: 1.1b1, 12/27/2005 09:22AM PST
maeric--2008
This hasn't been updated in a couple of years and there are no instructions but it still works fine on my Dual 2.3 PPC G5 with Tiger 10.4.3. There are some limitations to be aware of however:
X Font does NOT recognize Postscript/Printer fonts (LWFN) and it will beep and do nothing if you try. It WILL recognize TrueType (Mac and Windows), Screen Fonts (FFIL) and OpenType (OTF).
X Font could use an upgrade to include preferences like adjusting the default character appearance (it is set at "ABC...123..") since most graphic and web artists will find this app useful. Plus a way to view the complete character map would be welcome. But this is free from the developer and it fits an important niche for those of us who have a plethora of fonts.

App doesn't work for me - Version: 1.1b1, 7/10/2005 04:54PM PST

I get the same problem. When I drag anythign on to it I only get a beep. In other words, this isn't working for me at all.
too bad, I could really use an app that does what this one is trying to do.

Technically, this program lets you do that -- but only in the same sense as Apple Font Book lets you do it. You open a font, look at it, decide whether to install it. Thanks, but I'll just use Font Book for that.
I was hoping for something LIKE Suitcase (or Linotype "Font Explorer" -- also good), that lets me easily view all the fonts I have (without installing them) but that I could run only when I need to -- and keep the VAST majority of my fonts un-installed.
Oh well. It appears to be old (2002) and is probably no longer even supported, in any case.
