Reply With QuoteI've missed something, somewhere - saw it in the advertising and on the Apple OSX Panther site. But how do you actually access FontBook? I've looked , but I can't find it!
Dare I say it? - I'm not stupid - there's something wrong with the interface and general preferences if it isn't obvious. How on earth is the average user going to find it? Although, from what I read above, I'm not missing much!

Hey, how would Fontbook perform for, say, 200 fonts?

Arden--On a good machine I would think 200 fonts would be workable in FB. Some early tests with smaller font sets in that range seemed to be OK, if not blazing. Don't hold me to that though.
porteus--FontBook is in the Applications folder."You are" = you're • "It is" = it's • It's really that simple

Dude... what Toast said is true. You think Apple wouldn't make Font Book professional-feeling if they wanted to kill the competition? Originally Posted by TommyWillB Ha ha ha ha... lol... ha ha ha ha!

Yes... I do!
...but of course they will always try to convince everyone that they want competition. Underneath Apple has the same ambitions all companies have.
