I've used version 3 of Fontagent Pro for a long time and found it beat the pants off of every competitor out there. Recently I upgraded to version 4 and found it buggy to the point where I was drawing comparisons to Suitcase X1. It would randomly auto-activate fonts that had nothing at all to do with what I was working on, slow my system to a crawl in Illustrator, occasionally tell me that a font I had been working with had suddenly gone corrupt (that is, until I restarted the computer, at which point everything was suddenly hunky-dory again) and generally eat up hours of my time as I watched spinning beach balls every time I worked with certain font families that I *knew* were good. I sent a report to Insider Software but have heard nothing back, so I've gone back to version 3.32, the last good, stable version. I'll still recommend this software, just not this version.
Amazing Control and Ease Of Use

I have been in the pre-press and design since 1991. My company has to manage over 6,000
font families which equates to to almost 20,000 individual typefaces. We handle ad inserts
and national coupon campaigns for over 200 national retailers and restaurants.
We have tried Suitcase then Suitcase Fusion and Font Reserve. None of them ever did what we
needed. They were slow and had bugs. (One tip, to keep the font caches clean I feel that getting
the Font Agent Pro with Font Smasher bundle is the ideal solution and a great value.)
Font Agent Pro has been a real boost for font management in the world of OS X. It is accurate,
fast and maintains fonts at a level that is unprecedented at this point. The way it even has an
easy setup feature to install the font auto activation plug-ins and Xtensions is just one indicator
as to how user friendly Font Agent Pro is.
I wish all software worked this well.

I've been using FontAgent Pro since it was released way back. (version 1) I've also used all the other font managers. As a designer I need something robust that can handle 5000+ fonts and work effortlessly in the background without causing me problems.
FontAgent Pro is the only font manager that fits into this category.
You use free font managers or you can waste your money on Suitcase or any of the other but at some point you will end up getting FAP and wonder why you didn't change sooner.
