Finally 1.7.6.. The last update before Fusion Server next year. I'll be testing this puppy and then if it checks out in my test environment its ARD 3.0 to the whole f-ing place. Tired of dealing with the old crap. Hey, where did 1.7.5 go? Never saw that..

Font Reserve Client 1.7.4 is as buggy, buggier maybe, than the previous. And Extensis knows it, and they have no timeline for fixing it.
Their plugin makes InDesign 2 files incompatible with InDesign CS! They admitted this on the phone and said only that they are "aware of the problem".
InDesign 2 files created with the Font Reserve plugin will hang up when you try to open them in InDesign CS with the FR plugin.
Their suggested workaround is to turn font reserve off, disable all the plugins, open all your ID2 docs, delete the plugin data, resave them all as IDCS, then turn all the font reserve stuff back on and then maybe it'll work.
And we thought this software was to streamline work, not overcomplicate it.
I've never used a worse font manager in my life, and I've been here since their first version of suitcase.

...run permissions fix before installing. install. run permissions fix again. i would love to see extensis get with the program and release PACKAGE INSTALLERS instead of old-school installers that wreck havok on your system.
thx,

This resolves the problems trying to log out or shut down in Panther due to the FR proxy not quitting right. Also you'll want to throw out the entire users FR preference folder with caches and start that over or you may not be able to add fonts to the server. This is a solid release! Make sure that if you're using Indesign 2.02 or Adobe Illustrator that you save the older plugins (v1.6) as the 1.7 client doesn't install plugs for them- only CS. The server runs smoothly and the new font sets info column is a help. Thanks Extensis/DiamondSoft!
