Linotype FontExplorer X

Posted in Design, Apple and Applications 4 years, 11 months ago.

I’ve gone through phases with downloading icons, clip art, and desktop wallpapers. For all of these downloads, there is a organization tool which helps prevent duplicates and also provides other additional features like exporting any icon as a PNG. More recently, I have started collecting fonts. OS X ships with ‘Font Book’, which is perfectly fine for previewing fonts. However, if you want to really organize your fonts you need an expensive programs like Extensis Suitcase or Font Agent Pro. Both are great programs but for the intermediate user that is not quite font junkie, there is a new program on the block.

FontExplorer X not only aids with organization but also gives users an ‘iTunes Store-like’ experience for previewing and buying fonts. Developed by Linotype, FontExplorer X obviously serves a financial purpose but even if you never purchase a Linotype font, you are still able to take fully advantage their application. It’s fast, easy to understand, and also will automatically manage your system fonts so you don’t overload your system folder with fonts that will only eat up precious memory.
