FontDoctor 7.0įonts break, and when they break, systems crash. There are three main font-management tasks: organizing font libraries (which also makes sharing easier), minimizing the number of active fonts in your System folder (shortening font menus and reducing computing overhead), and assuring that your fonts function properly (checking for corruption and duplicates).
This review looks at some popular third-party font-handling tools. But if you have tons of fonts, share a font library with others, or have lots of fonts flowing through your system (from clients or collaborators, for example) you’ll need more features than Font Book offers. Thanks to OS X 10.3’s Font Book, most Mac users don’t need to buy a font management program.
