An atrocity 
- Version: 3.1.4, 2/8/2006 02:22PM PST

Font Reserve Server is an atrocity, the biggest handicap I have ever faced in ten years of pre press production. It is unreliable and unpredictable, and Extensis' "support" is a cruel joke.
My employer forces us to use this, and connect to a font server in another city. It has cut productivity by at least 20%. Every time you import a graphic, open a file, save a file, the application times out while Font Reserve goes looking for a font that is already open. The minutes of non-productivity add up quickly.
Of course, that's the best case scenario. Font Reserve frequently fails at it's basic task: automatically opening fonts.It's crash-prone, and a memory hog.
Around here, FR has some nicknames - most unprintable here. Font Reverse. Font Regret. Font Severe.
Be afraid, be very afraid.

I like how the "What's new in this version" only says what's not new in this version. : )
What's new in this version:
This update do not address the Adobe CS 2 issues which will be addressed in a separate update.

After purchasing Font Reserve, then struggling with it's weighty interface, clumsy implementation and interference with other OS X functions, I switched over to FontAgent Pro and never looked back. That's my recommendation for anyone serious about Font management in OS X.
