  • Best font manager? (For use with PS & AE..)

    Posted by Jimmy Brunger on October 3, 2006 at 12:09 pm

    Hi All,

    Been having a few problems with PS CS1 since installing a bunch of new fonts…after a little reading found out about PS’s font limitation! Aha!..
    Also, reading up on AE 7.0 – it seems the font seraching ability has gone even further downhill there too..

    So a font manager seems to be the next step.

    Looking on download.com “The Font Thing” seems to get great reviews, anyone had any experience (good/bad) with this app?

    I’m ideally looking for something free that will work hand in hand with PS. Any non-free suggestions welcome too.

    Thanks.

    well,

    i would go for “Linotype Fontexplorer”!!
    it automatically activates fonts if necessary and is much
    easier to use as f.e. suitcase (and much more stable)

    It’s freeware and for me the best thing around.

    kind regards

    stefan

    Sorry, I meant for Windows XP. Do Linotype do something similar for PCs? Can’t find anything..
