Smasher preserves the health of your applications by performing automatic maintenance on your Mac. It works unattended to eliminate corruption to font caches and temporary files, the number one cause of font-related problems and workflow interruptions--so your fonts always image correctly. Smasher's set-it-and-forget-it functionality eliminates cache-related problems on an automatic, ongoing basis. Like a virus checker, it runs regularly to clean and maintain the integrity of your Macintosh and ensure that you start with pristine font, print and preference caches every time you use your Mac. In doing so, Smasher can eliminate common font problems including incorrect font menus, garbled text, faulty font substitutions, false font corruption warnings, and application instability and performance problems.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Well, it can smash fonts into individual pairs... great for fixiing suitcases that contain several bitmaps when you no longer have all the postscript portions. The big problem is that you can't automatically have it smash into these single pairs by "selecting all". You must always manually select a single bitmap within a suitcase, then "smash" it, then select another single bitmap, etc. ONE AT A TIME. This is extremely tedious. How hard could it be to add a preference setting to "smash multiple selections into individual pairs"??? What good is a font smasher without automation?
Works, sort of...
