Thanks Michael and Linda, much appreciate the recommendation.  I just
checked their site where they seem to have taken down the Windows beta
version, but asked to keep checking back occasionally.  I'll keep an eye out
=]

Much appreciated...anyone want to start a fight about TTF vs Postscript
fonts?  Anyone?

;D

Subject: Re: [IxDA Discuss] What font organizer do you use?

I believe that someone else on this list recommended Linotype Font
Explorer X a while back. I have it installed on my various design
machines and it works pretty well. It's still in beta, and every time
I've reported a bug to them they replied "no it's not", so I gave up
telling them stuff, but the price is right (for now at least): free.

The program lets you enable and disable fonts or groups of them. It
stores the original font files in its own little folder and then
activates them as you tell it to. If you have a large number of fonts,
you need to spend a fair amount of time arranging them in the
application before it is of much use. But after that you can choose to
enable all the blackletter fonts for your goth clothing designs and
then disable those and activate all your dingbat fonts for icon work.

The location on the web: http://www.linotype.com/fontexplorerX
It looks like they have a Mac version now too.
