And if I needed a new font activated, I could do so and not have to restart the app to be able to use it (with Photoshop being a notable exception to this). I could launch InDesign or Illustrator and it would pretty much automatically activate the fonts I needed. The thing I liked best about FEX was that it didn’t really bother me. So why didn’t I rush out and plunk down for this app once my trial was done? Accountability and transparency The import process went ok, the interface was nice to look at, and organizing and finding fonts was straight forward and easy. Overall, my experience with FontCase was fairly smooth. If you’re interested in that, check out the Smoking Apples FontCase review. Note: I won’t be going into real depth here on a review of the app. But the buzz continued, I’d read a review or two about it, and decided to take the 30 day free trial plunge. So when I began hearing the buzz surrounding FontCase I was pretty skeptical of upsetting my font management workflow. FEX was free, and it worked – while others on the scene at the time such as Extensis Suitcase were wracked with problems, and you had to pay for them. Font management has thankfully been something I haven’t had to think much about in the last few years, ever since Linotype came out with Font Explorer X for both the Mac and PC.
