"Doesn't work with Dreamweaver"
Version: FontAgent Pro 5.0
Pros
Contains its own uninstall script, which is helpful because you're going to uninstall this program after it crashes with Dreamweaver.
Otherwise, nice program, very courteous internet supportCons
Crashes Dreamweaver
Summary
Useless to me.

"Not worth the upgrade."
Version: FontAgent Pro 5.0
Pros
I've been a FAP user for years and years. But recently started having problems when I upgraded to Lion.
Cons
I upgraded to the latest version (Mountain Lion compatible) on August 3rd after receiving their upgrade email.
I removed all other font management software, prefs, plugins and the like.
Reinstalled FAP and the font activation plugins for CS5.5 (InDesign) and CS6
Checked EVERY one of my fonts using both Font Doctor and Smasher.
Wiped out the entire database and started over by re-importing all the clean (and only the clean) fonts
Ran Smasher and deleted all my font caches (numerous times).
Here's the problem:
Whenever I add a new font (I get fonts from clients as part of the prepress production cycle), the font is added to FAP and is activated. It shows up fine in FAP preview, etc.
But the fonts don't show up in InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop! Even if I quit the application and open it again.
The only workaround is to quit everything, delete all the font caches and restart.
Only then do they finally show up.Summary
Something is seriously wrong with this application. Beware.
