"Font Book is easy to use and convenient to install, manage and preview all your fonts"
5/5
What do you like best about Font Book?

What I like about Apple Font Book is that it is super easy, intuitive, and friendly to use. You don't need a tutorial to understand how it works or even install it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Font Book?

Honestly, I do not find any problem with Font Book. I could not find something I dislike. It has everything I need to manage, install and preview the vast number of fonts on my computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Font Book Makes Font Management Easy"
5/5
What do you like best about Font Book?

What I like best about Font Book is that I can simply open a font file on my Mac and click "Install" and it is instantly added to the fonts on my machine, and it's ready for use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Font Book?

There's nothing much to dislike about Font Book. It does the heavy lifting of font management, mostly behind the scenes. It lets me spend less time managing fonts and more time designing projects for clients. I do wish that it allowed me to remove computer fonts that I don't use like the ones in foreign languages.

"It has become much better!"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Font Book?

I had actually taken a break from Font book and tried using other apps to manage all my fonts. But I came back as Font book gives a lot more control on your mac, and yes the drag and drop function is a lifesaver. To be able to install fonts seamlessly really improves your productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Font Book?

I faced quite some lags before with Font book and even though its gotten so much better, still viewing a smart collection causes it to hang most of the time. The trouble for me is that I have to disable the fonts that I don't use on a regular basis to avoid the app getting hung. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and useful"
5/5
What do you like best about Font Book?

Font Book makes searching for the perfect font easy. All the fonts are organized alphabetically and then by style. There's a preview of the font, which is by far the most helpful feature because it helps you sample what your text will look like before making the ultimate decision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Font Book?

I want an easier way to add fonts to my library. Perhaps, there could be links to free fonts that I could browse and choose instead of using other applications or websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Generic font explorer"
3/5
What do you like best about Font Book?

The best thing about Font Book is that it is a free program to organize and install fonts that have been downloaded. I like that it is simple with no bells or whistles. You don't even need to open it for the most part. You just double click the font that you intend to install and it will pretty much do the rest of the work for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Font Book?

Font book is simple, but it has limited options. It has no capability of managing or installing fonts from online sources, and I find that the multiple copy detection isn't really that helpful. It doesn't have the greatest UX. It can get a little crazy if you try to install multiple fonts at once. Meaning, a hundred tiny windows might instantly pop up, and put you in the position to click install manually on each of them ( depending on the type of font file format you are using.

"Stock App that is easy to use"
5/5
What do you like best about Font Book?

Font Book is a stock app in macOS. I love it because from all apple products, this is one of the easier ones to use and understand. It is very self explanatory and it even warns you when something isn't going to work and gives you portions on what to do. I love how you're able to label the font groups and it will automatically do it for you as well, which makes it easier to find the fonts when you're looking for them in a program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Font Book?

I dislike that you have to do some weird keyboard thing to be able to scroll through the fonts and see the change in your highlighted text. Other wise you have to go one by one and keep opening the file because there isn't really a sample of the font. The names are all typed in one font. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Apple Font Book is an easy way to keep and organize fonts"
5/5
What do you like best about Font Book?

What I like best about the Apple Font book is that you can insert a sample text to view what it would like in different fonts. This feature comes in handy when trying to find the perfect font. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Font Book?

I would like Apple Font Book much more than I already do if there was an option to select which types of fonts you wanted to look at instead of sifting through every font in your catalog when font searching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use font explorer"
5/5
What do you like best about Font Book?

The easy of use is always nice to have in a product. It works seamlessly within the apple os environment. As someone who uses multiple fonts, it is nice to be able to see them all in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Font Book?

There isn't much I dislike about this product. It hasn't changed much over the years within the apple os system - it always works as expected so i would not change much of anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A good product for the default Mac app"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Font Book?

I like that font book comes standard with my computer and it is compatible with any of the downloads from the internet that I find. Regardless of where the font is from online and if it is intended to be Mac friendly (because I do have a lot of issues with things I try to download only being compatible with PCs). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Font Book?

I don't particularly appreciate that the fonts I get from the internet are not standard sized - sometimes to make them the same physical size, one font has to be like 30 pt and others are the standard 12. Sometimes the script fonts don't have quite the flow that they are intended to, but I put this onus less on Font Book and more the designer of the font itself.

"Easy to use, easy to add!"
5/5
What do you like best about Font Book?

I love using Font Book to categorize and organize the various fonts I've added to my Macbook. I'm able to review each fonts offerings and make Collections based on aspects that they have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Font Book?

I'd love to be able to search for fonts that have flourishes. Sometimes I use fonts in place of graphics and being able to quickly find ones that have glyphs and flourishes would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
