FontXplorer was buggy beyond belief, and wreaked havoc in my fonts folder. (I still have phantom fonts that won't uninstall). FontXpert had loads of neat features- too many in my opinion. Maintype seemed just the thing for me, the perfect replacement to my trusty old typograf. I tried FontXplorer and Font Xpert, and finally settled for MainType.

I'll still try out Fontexplorer X when the final Windows version comes out but for now I'm back to FontExpert and it's working well for me. I still miss the Font Loader plugins from Suitcase in Illustrator and InDesign though... Thank you very much for sharing your experience Kemie.

As soon as that is out I'll try it for sure. Thanks Juan,
