After using FEX for a while (since FC3) I'm convinced it is the best implementation of a font manager to date.
The v1 release has one problem I'm experiencing, all the plugins seem to work well except in InDesign CS1, where it shows a dialog 'opening fonts' with an option to cancel. It stays on this indefintiely until I hit cancel, when InDesign proceeds to unexpectedly quit.
Did have this issue in FC4, nor did I see that dialog box. Otherwise it keeps getting more solid with each release. Good work.

I think after trying out a few tests with different pref settings, that it maybe the InDesign plug-in which is set to auto activate. I turned this off and left the others on, ie interception of font requests etc, and it working OK for now. I have notified Linotype so hopefully we will get an answer soon.Cheers
