One of the strongest aspects of the Mac is the range and elegance of its
fonts but these often stay hidden away deep inside OS X until you need them.
Fontcase is a font management application that provides an elegant management
system so that your fonts get the same exposure and treatment as anything
else stored on your system, such as multimedia files. Its developer has
labeled it as 'iTunes for fonts' and while that may be stretching it, you can
see where they're coming from. Of course, you can use FontExplorer on the Mac
but Fontcase provides an altogether richer and more spectacular management
experience. At the beginning, you're prompted to import all of your fonts
which takes quite a while and there's a lot of hanging around while it
processes them all. When you're done however, you can start browsing although
again. The program works surprisingly slowly for what is basically a font
manager. You can search fonts via a search box in the top-right of the
interface and scroll through your fonts a little bit like you would do with
photos in Picasa. Searching is helped by the fact that you can tag fonts. You
may experience some stability issues, however. On importing the fonts,
Fontcase completely froze for me, which was rather annoying as the whole
process had taken a good 5 minutes to begin with. *Fontcase is a powerful and
elegant app but it needs to be a lot quicker and stable before I'd be
persuaded to use it over FontExplorer.*Download *Fontcase 2.0.3* in Softonic
