hi there, i’ve been using suitcase for a wee while now (on os x) and have amassed far too many downloaded fonts. i try using suitcase to create a font catalog that i could perhaps print off, but it always finds a font that is corrupt and the whole thing goes bung (now there’s a technical term). is there another piece of software or approach that other smarties out there use to do this sort of thing.
thank you!

You might delete all those fonts, then shop around for specimen books,
and then, based on what you like from these books, collect only the fonts you really need.
yeah, i know. quite right
I haven’t actually used this software, but that said it does appear to do what you require. I bought some font managing software for my PC and would be lost without it, it’s well worth the investment.
FontVista does exactly what you are looking for:

thanks ralf, i might give it a go. i must agree with dberlow though, i have far too many fonts, and a lot of them are rubbish, so hopefully i can weed them out!
