FontParade - 1.1.1

I could not get this program to recognize the fonts I had activated in Font Explorer X. It was only showing me the default System fonts that were activated through Font Book. Without support for 3rd party font managers this program is of little use to those with large amounts of managed fonts. Someone else on this page mentioned it worked for them using Font Reserve, but Font Explorer X is a current, newer, updated font manager that should also be supported as it is gaining traction over commercial solutions like Font Reserve (now Suitcase Fusion) for many medium sized businesses.

This is an excellent utility. The one problem I had is that I typed in some text containing a few English words, plus three words set in Cyrillic, and diacritics for my working Latin-alphabet languages, German, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, hoping to be able to tell at a glance which fonts had these glyphs and which did not. UNFORTUNATELY, the application called on other fonts in the system to draw the missing glyphs, as if ALL the fonts had all these glyphs. This defeats the purpose of the printout for my ends. :-/ It would be wonderful if a new version would simply leave spaces where the missing glyphs are, or print underscore, hyphens, rectangles or whatever in their place. That way I could tell which fonts can be used for multi-language documents, or documents in Russian, etc. Please consider this option. I would guess it requires taking away the code that substitutes fonts for missing glyphs. THAN YOU for a WONDERFUL, POWERFUL utility!
