Just a heads up - the screenshot here on MacUpdate is of the older, far superior Fontcase 1.5.

As has already been pointed out, Foncase 2.0 is completely useless for font management, and should be avoided at all costs.

Fontcase 1.0 was great. It was easy to use, had a clean, clear UI, was relative quick and stable. It wasn't perfect, but it was by far the best font app for Mac by a long shot.

Then 2.0 arrived. Stability and performance dropped. The UI, while pretty, is convoluted and actively gets in my way. It's unintuitive, it's slow, and it actually removed features. Removed! Who removes features?

Do not buy this. I can't tell you what to buy instead as it's been so long since I've used another app. What I can tell you is that instead of using Fontcase I've taken to manually adding and removing fonts as necessary.

Because it's easier. Maybe 3.0 will get this app back on the right track but it has fallen so far I'm not sure that's possible.

I'd used Fontcase for several years, and loved the iTunes-like interface for quickly managing fonts (dragging between collections, smart collections, tags, etc.). Simple, easy to use, and it worked well!

Unfortunately, the 2.0 update brings an all-new user interface that breaks all but the most simplistic of use cases. Even basic functions such as adding a font to a collection became horribly obtuse, requiring two to three times as many clicks, without any way to do it visually (drag-and-drop between sections now requires modifier keys while hovering over buttons in the top bar - you can't even see collections and tabs simultaneously). Deeply disappointed, but glad the developer provides a demo - I knew within minutes I could never upgrade.

Version 1.x is still usable, albeit with a few lingering bugs, but with the developer abandoning the user base (the 2.0 redesign focuses on font browsing, NOT management), I'm looking elsewhere for a good font app. I'd recommend you do the same.

Tragic, as Fontcase used to be a favourite.

I really liked the UI of Fontcase 1.5 - the app was a bit unstable, though. Bought 2.0 hoping that the final glitches would be fixed - to my annoyment though they had reworked the interface (the thing that really shined in 1.5) ... Now it's confusing to me, hard to browse, really bad. Very frustrating :(

This new version 2 is excellent activating fonts in place at last, no more copying fonts to used font folder hidden main window when not needed and fast picks up all the fonts I need in any program iMac i5 quad 27 in OSX 10.6.7 Works with Photoshop CS5 instant pickup in photoshop if I turn a font on all other app pick up all the font requests I could throw at it. The font sensing is better than Suitcase 3 and FontExplorerX pro. My Font library is around 5000 fonts.
