Anyone have a recommendation for a free font manager for Mac? I've already got hundreds of fonts, but nothing to manage them. http://metachat.org/index.php/2005/10/16/helvetica_guy_in_an_arial_world#c44726 In response to: Helvetica Guy in an Arial World Mon, 17 Oct 2005 00:01:02 +0000 c44734@http://metachat.org Cool. I have these very old corel draw CDs that came with thousands of fonts (corel draw 3 and 5, belive it or not) and they all seemed to look the same. Still, I wish I had them on hand. Are these nice fonts, or what? Also, did you know that fonts cannot be copyrighted? Their names can be copywritten, but that's it.

The designer-types I know are thrilled with it. joelf, are all these fonts free? They aren't fonts that you've purchased with a single license?

I think a lot are ripoffs of actual fonts. Like mentioned above instead of Helvetica it's Halvabread or something. All the fonts are good. most useful, and all really nice. To me anyways :)

Thank you! Some of the dingbat fonts are hilarious. If I knew the kind of people who even knew what web design was, I'd certainly refer them to you.

Don't tell me "to manage fonts," unless that's the answer, and if so, please elaborate. I had hundreds of fonts on my old computer, and it made programs like Photoshop take a really long time to load--it would always hang up on "reading fonts" at startup.

I'm pretty ok with FontBook at home.
