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 system 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.

It's the most Simple solution you would find, it's not just a folder like in windows, this is a tool to manage the fonts but it keeps 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 tool I love it.. but it's limited in the form of adding new fonts from sellers, the only way is to add the font from the system. It would be nice to be 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:

It's included on the Mac Systems, you could start using it from scratch, and even a lot of people don't even know it's there. You should start creating collections and enabling and disabling fonts.

Test it, learn to use it, and then decide if you're 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 didn't use fully, with the Font Book and its simple solution I have been able to invest in other tools for my practice.

Doesn't require a long training path, it's very simple and probably could be dismissed by its simplicity, but in the day-to-day basics, if you plan your jobs correctly it could be a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
