What are you guys using on Windows?

I just spent 2 hrs screwing with an older (free) version of FontXplorer and couldn't get it to launch. Screw it. I downloaded the latest version and am going to demo it for 30 days, it's $89 to buy. Looks like Suitcase is only 10 bucks more. Which one sucks the least?

I found this today and will test out the trial this week: http://www.high-logic.com/font-manager/maintype.html

It's $39 and so far I like it. Will report back with inevitable flaws tomorrow.

Suitcase sucks, but it's what we use. I fucking hate it, but the free FEX won't run, and I think ATM is worse. I didn't even know it was still around.

Shit Joe, now Adobe is going to see that and start releasing it in the cloud.

And make it break the old version of ATM.

I thought ATM went away with OS9. I've never used it on Windows.

It used to be awesome on Mac until OS9 came along; then it sucked. It always sucked on Windows.

I've always hated suitcase. It's horrible on Windows - no drag-and-drop to add fonts - that's my #1 beef.

I used Maintype all day today and I have NO COMPLAINTS so far. I know, I'm shocked, too. I have over 2000 fonts loaded in it and it does what it's supposed to do. Hasn't crashed once. (and yes, I am talking about Windows)
