RARO  Yes, it does work!  
(Version 4.0.3)

RINCKER  So, does it work with SL 10.6?  
(Version 4.0.3)

ASHMADUX  now this is interesting. I was finally able to get this rotten program off my machine. I had to use the version 3 uninstaller to get rid of 4. Incredible. Previously, I could not downgrade because v.4 had a file somewhere on my machine that was preventing it. After installing v.3, now my fonts show up in cs4 apps. WTF, cmon programmers, this is crap.

The sad thing is that I used v.3 with absolutely not one problem for years- while everyone else was going through suitcase hell. Thank goodness that I have all my original install disks. And the nail in the coffin is that these guys obviously haven't updated even thier basic support pages- most links are dead or go to version 3 information.

Since im due for a new machine, ill either stick with v3 or try out font explorer. I cant trust these guy' software with my mission critical workstation. Cmon dude, get back on the ball. Please?

ASHMADUX  This program is great...

When it works.

As a long time user of Font Agent 3, I am inclined to re-install that old workhorse- this update has given me nothing but problems with activating in CS$ applications. I NEVER had a problem until i upgraded.

right now i have 872 font that i just activated. closed out of all cs4 apps. guess what? pshop sees liek 4 fonts out of the 800+. I deactivated, then reactivated all of them, quit out opened back program, same with pshp and illustrator. illustrator is usually better at handling font being activated while the program is open, and often just updates itself. Photoshop however....

Im a designer, and my font just wont activate. Worse still, unlike version 3, when it cant find a certain font in a pshp cs4 file, instead of leaving the pixel approximations (helpful if you just want to print), it changes any font that has an issue upon opening.

version 3 i still have running on my laptop, and 4 on my desktop. i have had no problems whatsoever running v. 3 in leopard. however, that machine is stuck on cs2 apps.

i gotta fix this now, i cant use this machine without my fonts. sigh

TONY AGUILA  I think this is the first time that FAP gave the user the choice to selectively install auto-activation plug-ins for Adobe Creative Suite (all versions), as well as QuarkXpress, the first time you run it. Not sure if it will persist with the dialog if you choose not to install the first time. Very convenient. I am gratified that even before this update, they made plug-ins available for Adobe CS4, and this updated version is now even quicker with auto-activation in InDesign. Illustrator is still slow to react, but there is no more need to close and reopen the document.

I own and have used ALL of the other font management programs out there, and still maintain my licenses, but FAP is definitely my first choice for managing my 7,000+ font library.

The only problem discovered so far is that the update deleted all the names of my font sets. Fortunately, the contents seem to have been unaffected.

My long-time gripe remains. When running Font Player, you cannot pause it. Whenever you stop/pause, it will have to start from the very beginning (or very end) of the set. Thus the reason for 4 stars for features.

DESIGNSBYDEGREE  I have been in the pre-press and design since 1991. My company has to manage over 6,000

font families which equates to to almost 20,000 individual typefaces. We handle ad inserts

and national coupon campaigns for over 200 national retailers and restaurants.

We have tried Suitcase then Suitcase Fusion and Font Reserve. None of them ever did what we

needed. They were slow and had bugs. (One tip, to keep the font caches clean I feel that getting

the Font Agent Pro with Font Smasher bundle is the ideal solution and a great value.)

Font Agent Pro has been a real boost for font management in the world of OS X. It is accurate,

fast and maintains fonts at a level that is unprecedented at this point. The way it even has an

easy setup feature to install the font auto activation plug-ins and Xtensions is just one indicator

as to how user friendly Font Agent Pro is.

I wish all software worked this well.

BLUESTAR  Actually font-auto activation often crashes Photoshop CS3 even with the latest 4.0.2 version.. just a comment on the last person's review  
(Version 4.0.2)

FONTMAN  Solid, app, the Auto activation is the best out there. and 4.02 works with all my computers and OS X 10.3 10.4 10.5 and yes my windows computer. Has not caused any issues to date. Just set it and forget it.  
(Version 4.0.2)

MACLOVER1.1  Best Font management ever.. I had liked Font Reserve a lot under OS).. for OSX this is my choice. Mutliple libraries, fast font viewer, activates fonts flawlessly in Flash (which FontExplorer does not in my experience had to relaunch Flash every time I activated fonts). 4 thumbs up (using my feet thumbs as well).  
(Version 4.0.2)

MARK_CAIRNS  I've been stung twice by FAP, both versions 2 and 3 and really can't see the point of all this "smart"ness that's built into 4.

I'll be sticking with Linotype's Font Explorer, which is as fully featured as FAP but is totally free! It works perfectly with Quark 7 and CS3.

Still nothing touches the simplicity of Adobe's ATM Deluxe 4.6 back in the 1990s.
