Product Description:

Choosing the right font for a project is essential when it comes to its presentation. We've all seen those cheesy used car commercials using a messy font like "Sand". Don't let that happen to you! Take control of your font collection. In the old days, before Font Pilot, you'd be stuck manually installing one font at a time and relaunching your programs until you found the one you liked. Not anymore! Using its superior font management engine, Font Pilot plunges into your system and digs up the dirt on your fonts. Copyrights, licenses, descriptions, postscript names, file sizes, locations, and so much more! However, Font Pilot would have hardly graduated flight school if it didn't go above and beyond its other classmates. Font Pilot allows you to browse an entire folder of fonts that are NOT installed with a visual preview! While viewing the slideshow, click the Install button at any time to have that font permanently installed and activated on the computer. No fuss, no gimmicks, just pure functionality. Also activate (without installing) fonts on the fly! Amongst these great features, and numerous others like the character map, key combo list, and print engine. Font Pilot is an essential font management software tool in any graphic designer's repertoire. Give it the free fifteen day trial, and we're sure you'll find it hard to let go!

Font Pilot CommentaryFont Book - Version: 2.4.2, 1/29/2009 12:29AM PST

Font Book, in OS X, can only preview one font at a time. Oh sure, you can click on any number of font files at the same time, but you then get a cascade of windows. Doable, but tedious to manage. Font Pilot enables you to examine whole folders of fonts at one time - though at the moment it's not working for me, which is another issue. But, when it works, it offers features not found in Font Book. Whether those features are worth $15.95 is a matter of individual preference.

$16 for something that is already part of Mac OS X. What's up with that?

Suitcase, Font Agent, Font Explorer and even Font Book will show you what fonts are not installed and what they look like. I certainly hope no one pays for this add on junk
