FontAgent Pro 2.1 for Mac

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This font-management tool fixes faulty fonts and also gives you a host of tools for organizing font files. We think its drag-and-drop operations offer significant advantages over Apple's built-in tools. And since corrupt or mismatched font files can cause inconsistent printing or crashes, FontAgent Pro should help your Mac stay on the straight and narrow, too. You can create custom font menus, nested sets, and multiple libraries for specific projects, making it easy to preview and choose from fonts in your collection. The program has an attractive interface that should make you feel at home, with WYSIWYG views and a simple FontPlayer for viewing and searching. Unfortunately, we did notice the program didn't catch a couple of duplicate fonts when importing our libraries. With its advanced tools and features, casual users will appreciate the program's new Setup Wizard when first getting started.
