I've been a fan and user of FontCard for over two years and I absolutely love it! I am a former graphic designer (20 years) and now filmmaker/editor (7 years) and I honestly can't imagine trying to do my creative design/text/titling work without the assistance of FontCard.

Without FontCard, fonts are a horrible, non-WYSIWYG, non-visually ordered mess, completely unintuitive for graphic artists. With FontCard, fonts can be grouped by families with popout lists showing the individual fonts. This makes long fonts lists compact and logical. More importantly, (most of) the individual members of each font family can then be sorted by visual weight/style (the way a designer thinks), not just alphabetic order (the way a programmer thinks). This is WYSIWYG sorting the way it should be.

I am excited about this new release (1.5) since it (finally) has fixed the partially odd behavior in QuarkXPress 7.2; QXP and FontCard now work correctly together. I am even more excited by the fact that I can FINALLY let FontCard handle my fonts in Final Cut Pro 6 when doing titles with Boris Calligraphy! Previously I had to exclude FCP6 from being managed by FontCard; the Final Cut/Boris Calligraphy combination just did not work right--now it does. Yay! And, since I use Linotype's FontExplorer X to do the major management of my huge (approaching 10,000) font library, the new support for FEX's sets is pure icing on the cake. Thank you, Unsanity, for continuing to develop FontCard so intelligently!

One other note, the developer has been quite responsive to my occasional feedback over the years, implementing (perhaps coincidentally, but my ego likes to think otherwise) important features I've suggested. That is great support.

Long live FontCard! ;^) (And, just for the record, I am not in any way affiliated with Unsanity, I'm just a very satisfied user.)
