worst. font management. ever.

Feedback Type:  Review

Contributed by: smithwood Saturday, October 15 2005 @ 01:14 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

the fact i had to ditch this program once i went from panther to tiger and that the developer has yet to solve all the bugs in tiger (albeit they are full of excuses) makes one's head spin.

i used it for two years with my old system. it wasn't perfect, but it worked. most of the time.

but now....

extensis' products will never touch my machine again.

worst. font management. ever. - jon44

Phew - thought it was just me! Like many reviewers I've re-built my fonts more times than I care to mention, following Extensis' advice (their support did respond pretty quickly though). Seems to be a bug on some Macs as SC X1 works fine under Tiger on my laptop (PB G3), but on my main Mac (Dual 2Ghz G5), takes forever to open/close a font. Also it won't allow the Mac to shut down.
It does mean you get more breaks during the day and the office gets tidied up more often during the 10-20 minute breaks while waiting for docs to open and close.
Thanks for offering alternatives - I'll definately switch.
In the meantime avoid this app. - it really is dreadful.
