Hi Bob, I have thousands of fonts on my Macs and need them for my everyday design work. I have Suitcase X on one Mac and Font Reserve 3 on three other Macs. I tried FontAgent X briefly (no go). FontReserve 3 is what I find to be the best for me. It has a few quirks but nothing bad (some fonts display weird in the browser). In OS 9x I run FontAgent 2.7 (Great for what ails fonts) on my fonts to cure them of any illnesses and to organize them into a nice library before I install them to Font Reserve or Suitcase.
