FontCatalog Reviewgetting there... - Version: 1.6, 7/28/2005 10:23AM PST

I use FontAgent Pro to manage my 2000+ fonts. This application is an important tool for browsing and selecting fonts for the right job. I would love it if it would concentrate on that instead of trying to be a font manager as well.

This version is MUCH better than 1.5 in dealing with large numbers of fonts. It still takes a while to process them all, but it shows progress and doesn't lock up. Great!

What I really would like to see it do is to remember which fonts were activated between program launches. Right now, if I want to browse all of my fonts in the main browser window, I have to turn them all on first, which takes too long to just do casually. Ideally, the categorization functionality of this application would be integrated into a font manager like FAP.

FontCatalog ReviewI would LOVE for this to work but... - Version: 1.6, 7/20/2005 11:24AM PST

I just get the spinning rainbow of doom upon trying to open the app. It does some sort of scanning and then just spins.

The previous version worked for me but needed improvement so I was excited about this update but it clearly has some issues.

Keep at it, developers! I think you've got a great idea. Once the kinks are worked out it'll be great. I wish other font managers had this categorizing feature.
