Existing users, 
This piece of software has great potential but it simply doesn't do the job. About 1 font in 8 on my computer shows the font in it's true form, all the others seem to revert to Lucida Grande. I'd give it 5 stars if it really, really worked but because it doesn't I've taken 3 off!
Not very impressive. Lemke's FontBook still remains the best but the more I see of these apps the more I think there is a huge gap in the market for the ultimate Font Preview & Print Software. I'd love to be able to write such a thing... I think I'd be able to retire before Christmas!!

Apprently, the developers use RealBasic to write this program, which can only display fonts through Quicktime. This is why only a single face is displayed in a family and why OpenType fonts and others are in RED as they can't be displayed.Given these limitations, I pass on this utility. I'll continue nagging the developer of FontThing to fix his code.
