Linotype FontExplorer X
When I switched from Windows to Mac I brought a ton of nonsense with me, one thing was 2000+ fonts. Apple included FontBook with OS X, which is great until you have half of the fonts I have. I’d get that program freezing and crashing left and right which was very annoying when I needed to activate a special font for a project I was working on. I set out at that point to find a solution to this dilemma, and that solution ended up being FontExplorer X by Linotype. I must admit that I didn’t find this gem until countless searches led me to Jason Santa Maria’s site, (also noted on creativebits). I’ve put this program through the wringer on many instances and it’s yet to even scoff at me. I recommend this to my fellow Apple design friends, and now to you because your my friend, aren’t you?
