Talk to me about Font Managers

[LJSDesigns]

I use Font Suitcase. It isn't free, but it is great. It has all the folders, called libraries in this case, for organization too, but what I really like is that you can make some fonts permanent without loading them to your computer. As long as Font Suitcase is open, they will come up in all your programs. All my favorites are always available to me.

Amie are you running Windows 10???
Since I've upgraded I found out, Windows 10 blocks Nexus Font from working. So I don't have it any more.

BUT I still recommend it if you're not on Windows 10

I think it stopped working for me even before I got this computer, but maybe? Fontbase works so similarly that it wasn't a big deal, except the redoing all the categories & such!

I have Windows 10 (and I hate it, for the record), so I think I will try Fontbase once I get all of my files downloaded from Crash Plan.

It sounds like this is only for Mac.
I guess at this point I stick with FontBase.
What I really miss about NexusFont is that I could type my journaling (or title, or whatever) and NexusFont showed it to me in all of my fonts.
