"Simple Font Viewing Tool That Does What It Says"
Version: Font Sleuth 2.0.2
Pros
Simple and focused on allowing you to quickly view and choose fonts; allows you to organize them in ways that fit you; simple installation and straightforward shareware nag screen.
Cons
Expensive for such a narrow tool at $15; has no default groupings to "get you started" in viewing your fonts.
Summary
Focused product that does exactly what it says it will do: let you view and select your fonts quickly and organize them in the way that makes the most sense to you. It seems a bit expensive unless you use fonts a LOT, but it's been simple and stable in my early use.

"v2.0.1: Close but no Cigar"
Version: Font Sleuth 2.0.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I've been shopping for a good font cataloging tool. At first glance, Font Sleuth seems like a good choice. The UI is very intuitive, and the "Group" function is quick and easy (especially like the ability to add and rename groups on-the-fly, and the ability to select multiple fonts to add and subtract from groups). The app seems quick and stable. But a few problems and key missing features make it pretty much useless for me:
1.When viewing uninstalled fonts, Font Sleuth can't read files in nested folders (it has a pref option allowing this... but it doesn't work).
2. There's no print option, for creating printed font books, or presentations for clients.
3. If you inadvertently add a font to a group more than once, it duplicates the font in that group.
4. There's no "view info" option for a font, to see version, foundry, font i.d., etc. And there's no way to select a font and see what group(s) it's currently in.
5. There's no "character map" view, to see key combinations for dingbat fonts, or fonts with special characters.
6. There is no way to "tag" font files for spotlight, or export fonts from groups. So, the groups have NO meaning outside of Font Sleuth.
