I agree that the need for a Font organizer seems to have gone by the wayside over the years. I recently found myself more in the graphic-designer role in a small company, coming from a big one where we only used 2-3 basic fonts for everything. I guess now that I'm closer to the "marketing edge", I find myself looking for a way to manage the 1500 or so I've acquired over a dozen years.
I remember ATM, that goes way back =]. I should look around to see if I can find it. IIRC, they charged for it, which is why I tried the Corel product... My hesitation in just installing all my fonts is that I'm also running development environments and lots of other goodies for the web-dev and prototyping side of my brain, so I'm hesitant to slow my machine down with too many unused fonts (even 2GB RAM fills up quickly). Maybe XP doesn't really care how many fonts are installed, but I recall it being a big problem with Win98 & W2K.

It has been ages since I used a font organizer. Aside from working with fonts clients supply ... I think we have evolved to not need one. If I remember right, it was because RAM and memory was expensive and software not very smart. Wonder why it just dropped my radar maybe because I now use Windows. :) Does Adobe still sell ATM? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
