In fact, when I loaded it up with 50,000 fonts, it was not only real slow, but crashed or locked-up every time I tried to do a search... And it was very unstable a lot of the rest of the time... I don't know if there is a newer version that fixes some of those problems... FWIW, I continue to use 'Font Navigator' (Font Reserve's predecessor) as my main font program (nice features and easy to use)...

150 Dollar font manager by Insider Software (Carlsbad, CA), for Mac and PC. Now also FontAgent X and FontAgent Pro for Mac OS/X. Demo. A testimony: "I just purchased FontAgent in hopes of vetting and organizing my extensive (and growing) collection of fonts. Much to my dismay, I found the following: It didn't recognize my Open Type font, classifying them as "corrupt." It didn't recognize .inf and .afm file name extensions, so when it moves Type 1 fonts, it sometimes leaves constituent files behind. It doesn't always recognize the font's foundry -- many, many fonts from major foundries (Adobe!) are classified as "unknown" or " misc." I paid $50 for the software, so I'm disappointed." In August 2002, apparently, OpenType was added as a font format to FontAgent, but I do not know about the other problems. Review by Andrew Shalat. In 2006, they released FontAgent Pro 3.1 for Mac OS X. In 2009, FontAgent Pro Plus 9250 US dollars) comes also bundled with 750 opentype fonts called the Master Type Collection (250 fonts from Bitstream, and 500 from BTN: Breaking The Norm).

Fontmatrix
| Fontmatrix is a free graphical font manager for Linux operating systems and, since recently, also for Winmdows. Mr Docs writes: One thing where Fontmatrix has the older proprietary font managers beat is the concept of tagging. This makes it really nice to group fonts and even sub-group them logically for use in say a book. It also has extensive support to give you a nice GUI to show all the glyphs in a font, previews of sample text, variable sizing and also tell you what kinds of advanced Open Type features are inside the guts of your font. That is something Ive never seen outside of a font editor. And not least, it creates a nice PDF catalog of your fonts for printing or reference. All in all, a real pros font manager, but still nice and user friendly. Another URL. Softpedia discussion. [Google] [More] ⦿ |

He continues: "It's the ONLY free kerning editor for both TT and T1 that I'm aware of (as well as other useful functions). It's unsupported shareware (the author disappeared long ago)."

Hewlett-Packard FontSmart is a discontinued font utility for Windows. A reader wrote: "The Beauty of Fontsmart was that everytime you ran it, it did an automatic search of all your drives. It then showed a two column screen. On the left were all the fonts on your entire computer, on the right were the ones installed in Windows. You could create font samples in the size of your choice with ease in either column and by simply clicking on a type face(s) in the left column (on your computer but not installed in windows) and the clicking install - voila! the font or fonts were installed. It was so damned simple to use!!" It was a 16-bitv program and is thus no longer supported. [Google] [More] ⦿ | |

Fonty Python
| Free GNU License software for managing fonts on Gnu/Linux by Donn Ingle from South Africa, dated 2006. It supports truetype, opentype, TTC and type 1. Ingle explains: Many designers have collections of font files in big directory structures or on other media. Fonty Python will let you gather your fonts and structure them into collections -- or what I call "Pogs" -- a place to keep tyPOGraphy. Well, why not? Your fonts never move from where they are (so don't worry). All that happens is that you select fonts visually and place their names into a Pog, then you install or uninstall Pogs as you need them. No copies of your fonts are made, only links to the original files are used to install the fonts. For example, you might have a Pog called "logos" into which you place all the ttfs you have of company logos. After that, when you need to work with those logos, you simply install the 'logos' Pog and start your design app! FP is also great for just looking at fonts wherever they are on your computer, without having to install them system-wide. It is written as a mixed command-line/gui application at the moment, allowing very quick use. You can install/remove pogs without having to start the entire gui, which is neat. [Google] [More] ⦿ |

Panose
| Panose is a ten-digit number where each digit is hexadecimal (between 0 and 15) that attempts to classify a font. If applicable and computed, it may be inserted into the OS/2 Table of the Rich Font Description (RFD) incorporated into each True Type font. It was invented to speed up printers by minimizing the number of fonts required in the printer memory. For eample, Times New Roman is 2263545234, but Wingdings is 5000000000. Panose numbers are useful for detecting similar styles of fonts in collections. There is software (like High Logic's Main type that permits one to view fonts in collections by Panose number. The digits take care of these properties: (1) kind (2) class (3) weight (4) aspect (5) contrast (6) serif variant (7) treatment (8) lining (9) topology (10) range of characters. Panose was developed by Benjamin Bauermeister (b. 1960, St. Louis, MO). In 1990 he cofounded ElseWare with Clyde McQueen in Seattle, where he first revealed his PANOSE1 Typeface Matching System which began as a 7 digit number. Each succeeding digit breaks the font collection down into ever smaller groups. Hewlett-Packard Co. purchased Elseware Co. and expanded PANOSE to ten digits. HP created a PANOSE engine that compressed font information into 2kb packets and incorporated the Panose numbers into their Agfa Monotype typefaces to identify which packet should be used with which font. Then they designed their printers so that instead of using an entire font, they just sent the number. The printer memory did the math and reproduced a simulation of the font. In other words, the PANOSE numbers told the printers how to draw the typeface. Some improvements were made and Panose1 became Panose2. Bauermeister wrote A Manual of Comparative Typography: The Panose System (Paperback) (1987, Van Nostrand Reinhold). Other links on Panose: Bauermeister, Panose 1, Panose 2, Panose 3, Panose 4, Panose 5, Panose 6, W3C, More W3C, Microsoft Panose page, W3C page. The details of the digits:

These 21 independent typefaces share widths and other metric information so that they can be recombined. Thus History has the potential to generate thousands of different unique styles. History 1, e.g., is a hairline sans; History 2 is Peignotian; History 14 is a multiline face; History 15 is a stapler face, and so forth. In 2009, Bilak published the extensive Irma (Sans, Slab) family, which includes a hairline. Typotheque's other designer is Johanna Balusikova.

Julien (2012) is a playful geometric display typeface loosely inspired by the early 20th century avant-garde. Karloff (2012, Typotheque: Positive, Negative, Neutral) is a didone family explained this way: Karloff explores the idea how two extremes could be combined into a coherent whole. Karloff connects the high contrast Modern type of Bodoni and Didot with the monstrous Italians. The difference between the attractive and repulsive forms lies in a single design parameter, the contrast between the thick and the thin. Neutral, the offspring, looks like a slab face. They were made by Peter Bilak, Nikola Djurek and Peter van Rosmalen. Lumin (2013) is a family that includes slab-serif, sans serif, condensed and display typefaces, and no attept is made to make them uniform in style.
