You shouldn't use "Safari" in the application name.
The term "Safari" is a live trademark held by Apple. Using in this way is potentially confusing. I was confused about the source and quality of your product when I saw it listed in Version Tracker.
In the US, Apple's trademark is 78200789. If you feel you can ethically and legally use the term Font in conjunction with Safari for an application that runs on a Macintosh, you should try to have it trademarked so others don't infringe on you.

Not so. By your logic, I could make a boat, a bicycle, and an aeroplane called Ford or Saab or Audi and all would be okay. Not so. A work mark can infringe on another mark (in this case, a registered mark) if it confuses. As importantly, if the mark confuses and is applied to a similar application, it infringes. Why do you think Apple Computer and Apple Records are debating this topic as you and I correspond?Another application posted here has the same problem. It was called eFax Cocoa or some such dribble. The developer eventually had to change the name when the eFax attorneys prevailed on him and argued that his software name infringed on a service by the same name.
It is better for Font Safari guy to change it now rather than latter. The sooner the better in trademark land.

as i recall, there was a specific contract between Apple and Apple Records, which makes it a very different kind of issuealso, there are a couple dozen Mac OS X apps with Safari in the name, and this is the only one which doesn't relate to web browsing, so attacking this particular app seems unwarranted

eFax and eFax Cocoa do the same thing - hence the lawsuit. It is NOT the same thing as using the word "Safari" for an application that does NOT surf the web.
By YOUR logic, the fruit "Apple" could also sue Apple Computer for using the name. Macintosh is a type of Apple - so does that mean the the person who first discovered and named the Macintosh Apple can sue Apple Computer for using the name for the Macintosh computer product line? Like I said, get a life and stop wasting your keyboard for such pure nonsense. This space is for reviews - NOT for your personal opinion about the way the world should work.

nor should you use "Internet" "Explorer" or "Word"it's perfectly fine to have that as a title as long you don't make another web browser named Safari
