Buggy software that will have you missing deadlines and pulling your hair out if you are a professional in need of font management to do your job. Auto-activation feature works about 1/4 of the time. Manually activated fonts usually require you to quit an app and restart it before they show up.
I have been using this software in a pro environment for several years and was recently forced to upgrade to version 4 after reloading my system and spending hours on the phone with Insider to no avail trying to get a legacy installer. After reluctantly upgrading NOTHING works.
Good luck getting "\support" from Insider Software.

3 offices, over a dozen Macs and FAP 4 not working right on any of them.Tuesday, April 28 2009 @ 06:34 AM PDT

Hey, "mdrowland"! How's this: We've got *dozens* of Macs of all shape and colour (G3, G4, Intel), two operating systems (Tiger and Leopard), six offices, CS3 and CS4 and Quark and all the stuff an *actual* professional could ever want...AND THEY ALL RUN PERFECTLY. Beautifully, I might add.
The problem, "mdrowland," is *YOU*.
Indeed, if you are, as you say, such a lofty and lettered professional, why, then, are you so lacking in your ability to make a few little ol' Macs run properly?
It really burns me when an unknowledgeable and undereducated "professional" appears on one of these forums to sell their magnificent ignorance and technical incompetence as "fact".

you_not_cooken, I've been doing this longer than you've been alive most likely. I'm sure FAP is working fine for you in your home basement graphics business with the dozen or so true type fonts you downloaded off the internet but in a pro production environment it's a joke. But I'm glad it works for you, really.Monday, November 30 2009 @ 01:50 PM PST
