Well thought out layout and design
MGee_MomOctober 17, 2011
Pros
Love the tabbed GUI, and the ability to see Keyboard layout and so much font/license information at my fingertips.
Cons
Found the idea of copying the entire font files to my set folders cumbersome. For anyone tight on disk space, this could be an issue. Not sure why programmer is using this method instead of some sort of metadata or text listing to group fonts into sets. But overall, I really liked the program. Unfortunately, this program blue-screened my system. After rebooting, I started having some issues with my Adobe Suite programs. I ended up uninstalling and problems were corrected.
Summary
Unfortunate that I cannot continue using the program, because I truly loved the GUI. I recommend anyone try it, but recommend you try before you buy. I am now out a small amount of cash for something I cannot use.
