Graphic Design Team Leader Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/8/2023 "Useful default tool, but not ideal for professionals or teams" 2.5/5 What do you like best about Font Book? The best thing about Font Book is the ability to enable and disable fonts and not have them turned on all the time, saving precious system resource. What's even better is that Font Book comes on every Mac giving all Mac users this control (unlike other well known operating systems). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Font Book? No ability to share fonts amongst users, which is a pain when you have large teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you?

Owner Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/13/2022 "Definitely worth it - give it a try!" 5/5 What do you like best about Font Book? I really like how helpful it is in organizing all of the fonts that I buy/download! As a creative entrepreneur, photographer, and brand strategist, fonts are my LIFELINE when creating specialized brands for my clients. Font Book organizes all of my files into one place. I love how putting all of my files in one place so I can easily search, identify, and view my fonts is installed right there on my macbook. I couldn't run my design business without it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Font Book? There's nothing that comes to mind from the beginning! The only (slight) suggestion would be more organized throughout the app interface. Sometimes my files tend to get a bit jumbled when I'm working on a new project and trying to find fonts that pertain to the client/their business. Sometimes when I upload duplicate fonts by mistake, it doesn't recognize that hiccup, and there's a bit of a workaround to that. In addition, occasionally the macbook will have pre-installed fonts on your computer. In the event that I don't want my files to get disorganized, I like to uninstall fonts I don't use and sometimes fontbook doesn't have that capability. Most of the time it's great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Font Book: If you're thinking about using Fontbook/the stipulations of using it, there are basically NO STIPULATIONS to using it. It's extremely user-friendly, easily navigatable, and speaks to the cleanliness of pre-installed Macbook apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you? I solve my font search problem with Font Book. Before I realized the insane benefits, I would randomly search my design software for fonts that look good. Now I can see all of them in one place, and it has easily aided in the flow of my design process from start to finish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Professional Photographer Photography Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/5/2022 "Font Book is SUCH a helpful tool." 5/5 What do you like best about Font Book? Font Book feels intuitive when you're looking for a specific font. I love how easy it is to find the font I'm looking for and even how the filetypes are collected together super easy viewing. Not only does it look seamless, but it also showcases everything about the fonts themselves. Now I never have to wonder what is included in a font because I can just scroll through after clicking and see all of the included characters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Font Book? I don't dislike anything about Font Book. Given how it's a relativley simple program, I've never run into significant problems with it. It is what it needs to be! When I used a Windows system, it felt very slow and almost like it didn't update much even after I had correctly installed fonts. Font Book updates immediately and has never dissappointed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Font Book: Take some time to get familiar with the program! It will become your best friend if you let it. Also, take advantage of the organizational tools that it has to offer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you? I've supported smaller artists by purchasing their fonts and keeping them all in one place where I can quickly view them, without them getting lost with everything else on my computer! The organization of Font Book helps keep all of the fonts I have fresh in my memory since it's so easy to find them! And more than that, it also creates smart collections, but you can create your own custom collections as well which has helped a ton when I want to curate a spesific feel but maybe can't remember every font name. It's so easy to just look under the collections I have of "groovy" or "thin sans serif", etcetrea. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JB Jose Alejandro B. Medellín Chapter Director Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 12/2/2021 "Comes with the Mac but its a great tool and solution" 4/5 What do you like best about Font Book? Easy to use, very complete. With the capability to create collections of your fonts and even have smart search, that speeds the finding of the font that you need. There is no limit to fonts you could separate the personal ones with your sytem ones, and even see them symbol by symbol or with the "Quick Brown.." text to preview it. Just drag font to add them to your font catalog, and it identifies duplicates or corrupted font files. Its the most Simple solution you would find, its not just a folder like in windows, this is a tool to manage the fonts but it keep simple what you really need to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Font Book? As a font management tools I love it.. but its limited in the form of add new fonts from sellers, the only way its to add the font from the system. It would be nice to been able to enable or disable full collections of fonts. Unable to Assign keyword tags to fonts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Font Book: Its included on the Mac Systems, you could start using it from scratch, and even a lot of people doesnt even know it its there. You should start creating collections and enebling and disabling fonts. Test it,learn to use it, and then decide if your missing other options, this tool covers just the basics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you? We use it as our primary Font management tool, even we just use it as a simple one to enable and disable fonts, to accumulate, easy way to preview typography. I was investing in other solutions that I didnt use fully, with the Font Book and his simple solution I had been able to invest in other tools for my practice. Doesnt requiere a long training path, its very simple and probably could be dismissed by his simplicity, but in the day to day basics, if you plan your jobs correctly it could be a great tool.

CG Crisanne G. Senior Web Designer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/24/2021 "A good solution for managing all fonts" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Font Book? I like that I can easily search font names and see all of the styles for the selected font that are installed on the computer. It also separates for OTF and TTF and keeps that organization whether or not I deleted the original font files that I had dowloaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Font Book? I dislike that sometimes there's a lag between fontbook and the adobe suite. I could have the fonts installed to the machine and inside of fontbook and adobe won't recognize it. I end up having to switch between fontbook and adobe fonts quite a bit to get them to sync - which isn't the end of the world, however I wish that the mac machine itself would sync fontbook to my applications a little bit faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Font Book: Definitely use the drag and drop feature. It allows for easy and efficient font installation without having to manually install fonts individually. It saves a ton of time and makes for easy font management. Also, pin it to your dock for easy access instead of having to search through the applications window in finder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you? In the past, I had a giant folder with all of my fonts inside of it. Fontbook eliminates the need for the folder and houses them all in one place for me regardless if I kept the source file. Fontbook also allows you to categorize your fonts for easy and efficient searching, in hte past I had spent in the upwards of 30 minutes searching for fonts, fontbook's categorizing makes it significantly faster to find what I'm looking for and allows me to spend more time actually designing for my clients.

Field Technician Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/7/2022 "Font Book is Simple and Highly Effective" 5/5 What do you like best about Font Book? I enjoy Font Book's ease of use, intuitive design, and relatively minimal UI. Though it's a basic program that comes native to the Mac landscape of devices, it makes downloading and installing fonts almost automatic. I also like that it separates the fonts into TTF and OTF for you. It's easy to display all of your available fonts and to sort through them to find one that suits your project the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Font Book? For the most part, my experience with Font Book has been relatively uncomplicated. I haven't yet encountered anything that would give me pause before using Font Book or dissuade me from using it. I use it for relatively low-stakes applications, and I've enjoyed it thoroughly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you? Font Book allows you to organize and install new fonts on your computer easily. I love the ease of use with the Font Book UI. All i have to do is double click a font, it prompts me to install it, and away we go! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Owner / Creative Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/14/2021 "Font Book is Basic But Powerful" 5/5 What do you like best about Font Book? I like that I can create collections for each company that I do contract work for, and I can see the fonts I have installed just for them. I also like that I can drag and drop new fonts in very quickly and easily. The preview section is very nice, as well. Another benefit is being able to export a font if you need to share it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Font Book? I dislike how the program handles duplicates. It seems to gray them out instead of deleting them. I am not sure how other font programs handle that aspect, but this is a small thing that bothers me, but it is not a game changer by any means. I also dislike that you cannot see what type of font it is... for example, TTF or OTF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you? This program allows me to see all of my fonts in one place and keep them organized for me, too. This included software in the Mac OS has benefitted me since I do not have to purchase third-party software in order to meet my needs as a Graphic Designer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Owner Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/9/2021 "The Easiest Drag & Drop Font Manager Around" 5/5 What do you like best about Font Book? I love the fact that I can drag and drop the fonts that I find directly into the program and it will automatically group them to the entire font family. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Font Book? I wish there was a way to have them find all fonts on the system, sync with Adobe fonts, and remove any that are problematic or duplicates. I also wish I could sync them with my icloud so all my devices received new downloaded fonts no matter where I started from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Font Book: Make sure you are fully aware of the fonts you download and install. Some font files can be malicious. But, Font Book will flag certain ones that are in question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Font Book solving and how is that benefiting you? Font Book allows me to make sure that I have the fonts easily and properly installed on my computer.
