Review:

One of the best font management programs I've used, this baby had absolutely no trouble processing the preposterous number (nearly 2,000) fonts I have installed. I was able to browse folders with ease, with very little lag on even the most detailed fonts.

It supports all major font types (including Type 1 and OpenType). The main interface is a customizable text preview, with options to choose which types of fonts (installed and uninstalled) you'd like to see. With a click of one button, you can bring up all properties of a font (general, metric, kerning) and a character map complete with copy function for pasting into other applications.

Comparison of fonts, grouping into categories, and making a database of all fonts are other available functions, along with the usual copy/move/delete functions. My favorite feature is the keyboard layout, which shows a keyboard graphic with coordinating characters for any font you choose.

Conclusion:

Easy enough for simple font management, full of plenty of features for fontophiles. This one's a winner.
