Aug 11, 2015 9:07 PM in response to Kurt Langby kahjot,I would appreciate any comments you might wish to make on version 5 of FE Pro. I still use Font Explorer 4 on my main system drive; have Fusion on others.

Aug 12, 2015 6:25 AM in response to kahjotby Kurt Lang,Hi kahjot,
I downloaded version 5, but haven't had time to even launch it yet. Very busy with client work at the moment. But I will for sure have a look at it for the next revision of my article so I can include a review on FEX Pro 5 along with updating the article for El Capitan.

Sep 16, 2015 5:20 AM in response to Kurt Langby LerrynCT,Hi Kurt, hope you are well. Apologies for replying to an old thread, but after much searching, I can't help feel you are definitely the person who can help - I'm busy setting up a new iMac and I'm worried about font issues; I've used FontExplorer Pro in the past; should I again, or is FontBook good enough to use? I'm also going to join the Creative Cloud which has TypeKit, but i have years of work which uses fonts older fonts. I'd appreciate any guidance. Thank you. Regards Lerryn

Sep 16, 2015 7:29 AM in response to LerrynCTby Kurt Lang,I would, without hesitation, use FontExplorer X Pro over Font Book any day of the week. Font Book is a okay for simple, light use of font management. It falls down quickly as you add a goodly number of fonts (like more than a few hundred). It's greatest weakness continues to be how easily its database gets damaged by even only nominally damaged fonts that other font managers won't even shrug a shoulder at.

Thanks. Your font guide is a great resource. Just got FEX 5 myself, but thanks to typical end-of-summer work craziness have not had time to do anything with it.
