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. With its advanced tools and features, casual users will appreciate the program's Setup Wizard when first getting started.Publisher's description

Version: FontAgent Pro 3.1
"FontAgent Pro is superior in every way to other font management programs."
Pros: FontAgent Pro leaves all other font management programs in the dust. My main concern is getting my projects to RIP correctly for press. FAPro makes it all so easy. I have hundreds of postscript fonts and over the years, some of them have been corrupted, duplicated, and backed up onto various archives. Often, I need to use these fonts. It can be a big headache to identify damaged fonts manually. I need my fonts working correctly, no matter what. I don't have time for troubleshooting fonts, and I definitely don't have time for software crashes. FAPro imports my selected fonts, and separates out any fonts that are corrupt or damaged. I have confidence that I won't lose time struggling with deadlines that can't be met because my computer is crashing and my fonts are to blame. I won't be getting any calls from my pre-press manager asking for replacement fonts because the fonts are corrupt or missing. There's no chance that I can inadvertently use a corrupt font in my work. FontAgent Pro ensures that my projects will reproduce correctly. Keep up the great work!
