Existing users, 
I have hoped to avoid replacing FontAgent Pro with another font manager app but I had no choice: FontAgent Pro's auto-activation with Leopard still does not work. Here's a note from Insider Software's website:
"Please note that FontAgent Pro's preference to enable auto-activation is not recognized by applications running in Leopard that do not have FontAgent Pro auto-activation plug-ins or XTensions."
Yet they STILL do not offer updated plugins for Adobe CS3 apps even as CS4 is being released.
Suitcase fusion's auto font activation works great with Photoshop CS3 and, so far, with all of my other designated apps. The only feature I miss from FontAgent Pro's is the "WYSIWYG" option to display the font name in it's own typeface to quickly scan my font collections's lists for the appropriate font. Suitcase Fusion has an adequate font preview UI, but nothing great. SF also allows you to temporarily enable specific fonts, which is a great feature. Importing over 9,000 fonts into SF's "Vault" was completed in under 15 minutes and was problem free. Overall, a stable app that I'd recommend, though the price is certainly steep.

Font auto-activation works with well with Leopard - Kerwin Rabbitroo
I gave up on Fusion a long time ago. Like the previous poster, I use Font Agent Pro auto activation every day without problem. Moreover, auto activation in CS3 has always worked for me. The plugins came with the FAP4 product. As for CS4, I do have it, but only shipped last week, so I'm willing to give Insider a bit more time before I declare their deficiency in not getting out CS4-level plugins. Most of my other plugin vendors have not issued CS4 plugins either. :)I don't think this reviewer has fully examined the current version of Font Agent Pro before making their comparisons to Suitcase Fusion.

Font auto-activation works with well with Leopard - DavidRavenMoon
In professional situations you should always have auto activation turned off. This prevents the wrong version of a font being used on a client's job.If you only deal with your own installed fonts, just make a set for the project and turn that on. That's the way you are supposed to use this product.
So the lack of plugins shouldn't be an issue. And anyway the plugins work fine for CS3 apps, so what's the problem?

FontAgent Pro 4 came with CS3 plugins the moment it was released. Insider also released plugins for FAP3 as well. Not sure where you got your info from. Using CS3 and Mac OS 10.5.4 with FAP4 and auto-activation works here - I use it all day, every day.Reply to This
