That's the Championship Manager font!!

I could go on for awhile here:

eras demi is modern and businesslike without being too flash or too square

Shameful. I must now commit seppuku.

FYI: shift-apple-4, spacebar, click window.

I know, but I'm on a linux laptop remote desktopping into my mac at home, so it was easier to take a screenshot

Good answer.

Multiple xposts re: font hoarding: OK, I'm a freelance g. designer & I don't keep that many fonts on hand (selectivity regarding fonts is a preventative measure against the protracted dilly-dallying I'm prone to when given a galaxy of choices), tho I can certainly empathize with the love for the Lots o' Fonts approach. Anyway, I have a technical question for you guys: Are you Mac users &, if so, how do you keep your obscene font quantities from bogging down the applications you use. I have nowhere near as much as you guys have & Illustrator, InDesign & (especially) Word constantly get bogged down with font processing. Is there a preventative measure I'm missing out on?

My fonts aren't all in ~/Library/Fonts, no way.

Also, a pro dude would be a lot more careful about licensing than I am.

The big foundries, probably there's no way they give a shit about borrowed fonts. The smaller houses, tho, some of them are paranoid weirdos.

So, is there a way to archive & display your entire font collection using Font Book without storing them in Library?

Pillbox, do you use a font management utility? Use this. It's theee bombe.

I just use QuickLook (spacebar) to preview my fonts.

thx doods. I probably should have researched this eons ago, but I am one of those "creative types" (read: out to lunch most of the time)

FontExplorerX is no longer going to be free, but it's cheap, and it still beats Suitcase, Font Reserve and FontAgent Pro in my book.

Fontbook should be empty except for those crucial system fonts.

Don't even get me started on apple's helvetica .dfont.

OTM x3.

Yes. So
get the free version now while you can, and keep the .dmg file somewhere safe.

Abbs, just making font suggestions.

Been having some fun at yourfonts.com lately.

hey font guys -- i'm looking for a script font that has a big, fat large lettered feel to it and that would look good in blue. I tried Lobster (but it was too lobstery) and SAF (but it didn't have any lower case letters). this next piece isn't going to make any sense but i also want it to be a little jazzy, or bluesy? like to have a little personality. Any good recommendations?

maybe something like androgyne or Marketing Script? I know one of you font mavens have some good suggestions for me

Coronet is nice, I think. Famous example:

Not as much font weight as I'm looking for

Deftone, from Larabie?
