Fonts are an integral part of what makes a better presentation, would that be a keynote, a conference, a book, an ad, a poster, or even a simple memo. We may not always realize it, but the richness of Web 2.00 has accustomed each one of us to a profusion of typographies that the printed material sometimes lacks.
Because this app contains so many fonts, it is normal that it takes about a minute to load on a regular hard drive. SSD recommended, as with recent versions of Mac OS X.
Although this program comes with lots of fonts, they can be removed very easily if you dont need them. Click on "Open Font Files", and move or delete the content.
This app does not move the files already installed. It simply displays them.
All suggestions and insight are welcome. A lot of options are the direct result of users requests.
