How about Extensis Suitcase for Windows? Seems to be the leading commerical offering. Extensis also owns Font Reserve but it doesn’t seem as if they’re doing much with it.

Adobe Type Manager Deluxe has been discontinued.
But light is still available for free…

Meh.

No windows users here? Everyone must use something. I was just hoping to some solid recommendations. Not crazy about ATM.

I am a PC user, but all we use is ATM Deluxe, until we find something better.

i’m on a PC and don’t use font management because i doubt that there’s anything for PC that will significantly improve my font handling. that’s why i’m hoping Linotype’s venture will prove to be a boon for type users.

When I worked shortly in the design department of a local newspaper they used Font Reserve in a PC they had (all of the other machines were mac) and it worked very good, type was very easy to find and activate. The had many many fonts on this machine since recieved ads and many local magazines and small papers to print in this machine.

I am rather fond of Font Expert, and unassuming little program with a lot of nice extras (like the ability to configure specimen pages). It’s gotten a little pricier (now $49, instead of the $29 I paid several years ago), but it’s still a pretty good deal.
