After years of systematically massacring uncountable hordes of innocent fonts by following the dictates, complaints, crashes, and conniption fits of Suitcase and its partner in font mayhem, FontDoktorKervorkian, I was brought to glorious salvation by Linotype's FontExplorer X. I would have paid for it five times what I have sunk into Extensis Font Torture software, but no: it is free. Free. With timid uncertainty, I dug back through my ancient font collections, and threw at FontExplorer X all the fonts that Extensive Nutcase and FontDoktorKervorkian had chewed up and puked out in violent seizures, and FontExplorer X took every one of them. Every one. Without complaint. Without a sigh, a cough, or a hiccup. And after adding thousands of fonts, it has not crashed ONCE. I'd sooner jerk out every nose hair individually with tweezers than go back to Extensive Nutcase and their new conFusion. I wouldn't do it if *they* paid *me." Other than that, I have nothing but nice things to say about them.

Extensive Nutcase conFusion -
I completely agree with everything posted here. After enthusiastically shelling out the dough for the $50 upgrade, I'm practically bald from pulling out my hair. Deadlines are shooting past and I want to throw my computer out the window! FontVault sounded like a great idea to solve the problems CREATED by X1... what a hellish nightmare this has been! I can't get anything done! It won't autoactivate some of my fonts, yet I get no error message... in fact no reaction at all... when I try to manually activate them.I wish I had my 50 bucks back. I'm going to try out this FontExplorer everyone is recommending. I don't think it could possibly get worse.
