When I delete a set and contained fonts why do I still have that font in the library?
i just saw at the beginning of this thread there is a tutorial, ill have to check it out.

As of today I've abandoned trying to use FEX on Windows XP. Too much of a pain. Auto activation doesn't work and it's also not letting me select a different directory to manage fonts in. Works great on my Mac, but I think I'll just stick with Suitcase on XP.

I gave up on it as well under Vista. That's why they call it beta software though. User beware. :wink:

The Pro Version has just received an update to work with snow leopard. Quite a few fixes, but check the known issues

Am I missing something, or is the free version no longer available?    :undecided:

Pro version is $AU120. Not a lot for a very good font manager, but, it's marketing strategy, I guess. At some stage they have to support the support/improvements. I'd be happy for someone to point out I'm missing something obvious, though.

You knew that was going to happen eventually, right? :wink:

Probably. But you should have quite a bit of mileage yet. I only got Pro because when they launched it they had a half price intro.

Think I still have the installer if anyone really needs it.

Yep, the FEX lead's a dead end, jez. Version Tracker looks good though. Good old VT.

Here at work I've got macs with the old free version of Font Explorer and others with Suitcase Fusion, all older macs. I now have a new Mac Pro which replaced a G4 with the free font explorer on it. I doubt I'd get a discounted upgrade with that version? I have read there are some issue with Fusion with the mac pros so I'm leaning towards Explorer in which I like anyway and is cheaper. If you had a choice which one would you choose?
