While not indicated anywhere, it appears that this app requires a TeX installation in order to work: notice that the only fonts shown in the image files on the developer's web site are Computer Modern (standard TeX font, not normally available in OS X) and the TeX "typewriter" font. (Note that a TeX installation will add over 50MB to the total size of this app, and is not the easiest thing to configure or maintain if you are not already acquainted with it.) Plus, (La)TeX is not especially good at font management, so users may well be stuck with CM. Just a heads up note — otherwise, it looks promising.
Requires TeX installation too - Nicolas D.
Back Cover CD uses his own LaTeX distribution (files, CM and TeX fonts) included with the .dmg and the script uses in priority this distribution rather your own installation on your system, then you don't need to install TeX. I've updated my website on this point.
LaTeX is certainly not the solution for manage fonts, but his fonts support several encoding, french, german, spanish, dutch, etc. characters, specially special characters.
