I agree a demo would be nice, and would definitely help Alsoft at getting users to even know that MasterJuggler is out there. I see user after user who seem to think that the only font managers out there are Font Reserve and Suitcase. If there were 2 competing programs that can do the same thing, I'd go with a Cocoa one over a Carbon one any day.

I'd look at FontAgent Pro or MasterJuggler before I'd ever look at Suitcase.

I tried Font Reserve and it was in the Trash in under 30 minutes. I know it has some powerful features, but I'd never use them, because I could never get past such a horrible user interface (the way of resizing the upper and lower window sections by having to use 2 separate drag boxes is ridiculous. Use an NSSplitView or whatever the Carbon equivalent would be.)

That said, I would be tempted to buy and trust MasterJuggler solely because of the "Alsoft" name alone. I bought PlusOptimizer from them soon after I got my first Mac, and was always pleased with it. DiskWarrior is absolutely incredible software that has saved my butt on several occasions. I'd reason by analogy to say that MasterJuggler should do the same.
