Product Description:

FontCard is a haxie that modifies the Font menu in Carbon and Cocoa applications. It can add an icon that displays the format of a font next to the font menu item, display the font name in the font face, group fonts into submenus, and add font collections to the font menu.
Note: This version supports both Cocoa and Carbon applications.

FontCard has been tested with InDesign (2.0.2, CS, and CS2), Bare Bones' BBEdit (7.0.3 and 8.0), TextEdit, Tex-Edit Plus, Word (2004 and v.X), PowerPoint 2004, Quark XPress (6.0-7.0), Apple's Console, iChat, AOL Instant Messanger, FreeHand MX 2004, Fireworks 8, Illustrator (10.0, CS, and CS2), Photoshop (CS, CS2, and Elements 3.0), Xcode, Eudora, Entourage (v.X and 2004), Adobe Acrobat Pro 6 and 7, Pages, Mellel, Creature House Expressions 3, and SimpleText.

If there is a problem with an application (whether or not it is on the above list) that is not listed in the Known Issues section of the Read Me, then please contact us immediately so we can get it to work.

What's new in this version:

FontCard is now a Universal (Fat) binary compatible with the Intel-based Macs (ICBMs).
Added a "Unmatched Fonts" submenu for fonts that are available in the Applications real font menu but for which FontCard cannot find a font that matches the menu item name.
Added an Updater that automatically checks for updates at user-specified intervals.
Fixed a problem with FontCard not recognizing font menus in Japanese localized applications.
Updated for the sets created in FontAgent Pro 3.2 and later.
Hopefully addressed an issue with some fonts not appearing in Adobe applications. This does not apply to fonts installed in Adobe specific font folders.
Fixed a problem with QuarkXPress 6.x and 7.x that caused FC to select the wrong font if the correct font was listed after the generic font family in the real font menu. This was especaily a problem for Helvetica Neue fonts under QuarkXPress 7.0.

Abandonware: Unsanity Sucks! Zero Support! - Version: 1.5.1b4, 2/14/2009 10:20PM PST

Unsanity has chosen to jump ship, and leave their loyal customer base screwed. DO NOT waste your money donating or buying a license as all you will be doing is throwing your money away. I deleted all my Unsanity haxies. Never again with Unsanity.

For those who believe that Unsanity does not respond to inquiries, I suggest that you read the announcement in the yellow box at the top of their blog page that has existed for months now:

http://www.unsanity.org/archives/betas/enthusiastic_trepidation.php

I own FontCard, FruitMenu, Menu Master, and WindowShade. All of their betas have worked well with Leopard on multiple Mac's.

v.1.5.1b4 has been out for several months, why is it showing up here a an update on July 20, 2008. In fact, FontCard keeps telling me that there is a new version available, but it is always 1.5.1b4, which is what I am already using! I agree with Mac 1984 that maybe Unsanity is gone for good - they haven't updated their website or blog for several months.
