Product Description:
FontExplorer X sets a new standard for font management software. After several relatively sad years for all font users who were looking for a professional font manager, Linotype is pleased to fill the gap with the new FontExplorer X. Font management has never been so simple, and font sorting, font shopping and font discovery are now more fun than ever. FontExplorer X gives computer users all the font functions they could need, and lets them decide how deeply they wish to dive into various font themes.
What's new in this version:
This update (Version 1.2.3) fixes among other things some misbehavior in previous versions of FontExplorer X when used under Mac OS X 10.5. It is strongly recommended for all users of Mac OS X 10.5.
Updated features
- The "Clean System Fonts Folder" function now also takes care of those fonts that are part of the System installation of Mac OS X 10.5.
Bug fixes
- System font requests for auto activation caused requesting applications to hang until FontExplorer X is quit. This has been fixed
- Deleting font caches under Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) now works as expected
- Show/Hide Font Collections under Mac OS X 10.5 now works as expected
- Smart Set conditions "contained in" and "not contained in" now work as expected
- Instability (freezes, crashes) with QuarkXPress 6.5 when using the Plug-In have been fixed (new Plug-In v1.41)
Known issues
- System font requests are also handled by the Font Book application under 10.5, this interferes with the auto activation feature of FontExplorer X. To avoid conflicts, turn off "Automatic font activation" in Font Book's preferences.
- With Mac OS X 10.5.0 and 10.5.1 the auto activation feature of FontExplorer does not work. This can be resolved by updating to Mac OS X 10.5.2.
- The 3rd party application PlugSuit 1.5 may cause FontExplorer X to crash when starting. This will be resolved in a future update of PlugSuit. To work around the problem add FontExplorer X to the Excluded Applications list in PlugSuit.

I still can't believe that the best professional font management software for the Mac is Freeware... I'm even more impressed to see that Linotype managed to update it in less than 24 hours after the MacOS 10.5.2 update broke it. Thank you guys & girls...!
