After using this before and not loving it, I decided to give v3.1 a try, and was VERY impressed with everything. After it installs, it plops a disk image in the application's folder with just about every activation plug-in. This can be very deceiving because if you turn on the auto-activation in the preferences, only the quark plug-in is necessary (figures). So don't bother wasting your time installing the plugins as they are completely unnecessary, even when you quit the application. They didn't update the user guide for this release, and the readme's with each plugin are incorrect as well. Just thought I'd share that because if I hadn't read a review elsewhere, I would have promptly installed the auto-activation plugins. I tested my Adobe apps without the plugins, and it worked seamlessly. Even after I had quit the app. How refreshing. I was using linotype's fontexplorer (be sure to turn it off or uninstall any previous font management apps), but I've now switched to this incredibly stable, intuitive, easy-to-use font manager (took only 5 minutes of usage!). I was astounded by the font validation checker (linotype would just give you a folder that said 'undefined' if there was a font problem) and the speed. Give it a try, but unless you use Quark, ignore the plugins disk image that gets installed. The only complaint I have is that Flash 8 doesn't have a plugin and fonts are not automatically activated. If you do activate a font, you have to quit Flash and restart it for the font to be seen by your project. Very annoying and I hope that insider software can find a workaround. I would also like a way to preview fonts without having to add them to the library.
