is ANYone out there still using QXP by choice?
InDesign is SO far ahead of QXP it's no contest. this war ended long ago. Quark: RIP.
HIGHLY recommended for all designers & typographers.

According to the home page linked above, the name of this app should be InDesign with a capital D.

adolloar28cents is correct. App should be listed as "InDesign." And CS3 incorporates perhaps the richest find/replace feature set on the planet, including GREP and searching by all styles — paragraph, style, table, cell, and even object. The visual effects brought over from Photoshop for CS3 are another huge time-saver.

for the average user with more than (say) 30 fonts, this is the #1 font manager available. it's free, it's fast, it's slick, and it's 99% dependable (not perfect, but none are). unless you have specific needs that this one doesn't cover, this is THE way to go. highly recommended -- thumbs way up!

Heaps better than commercial equivalents. Faster and more stable than Suitcase :D

Font exporing features are useful for finding those uncommong characters in a font, especially the unicode ones you might not even be able to use a short-cut for.

Highly recommended even if you don't have high requirements for font management.

As someone who's forced to support Suitcase in a work environment, this is a fantastic program. Functional, reliable and FREE. Flip the bird to Extensis and use this.

THE way to manage fonts in OS X. simply.

I was skeptical of a free type manager at first, but after using at the office to replace Extensis Font Reserve (a complete piece of garbage), I haven't looked back. It's fast, easy to use, and has great features (auto-activation, etc.). Linking to the Linotype store is interesting as well. It's a great way for them to get more exposure and sales, all while keeping the app free.

Bought 5 copies of Suitcase at work. Everyone uses this instead... it's so good.

This made my Suitcase wound stop bleeding.

has to be in my top 5 peices of freeware i have on my macs, the best thing since ATM for font management and 100% better.

I wish there was a way to fix files where the fonts have somehow been seperated the fonts into several families even though they're the same family.

i agree about the ability to group fonts into families manually...
also, does anyone use fontexplorer with libraries of thousands of fonts (say over 3000 or more)? how does it perform?

I've got 7000+ (thanks, Bittorrent) loaded and it keeps on like a champ. I really, really have to go through and sort this crap out though.

I, too, wish there were a way to manually move fonts into the family they belong in. That said, it's the only font manager I use (or need) anymore.

Is it still beta? I used it on PC (blergh), but I removed it because it moved all the fonts from the font dir

This application has some minor UI issues under Leopard.

Looks like ass on Leopard but seems to function OK.

The online support is killer. Browse the entire Linotype library and shows live previews. Amazing
