- FontCase is so Mac-like in appearance, you'd swear Apple designed it Importing my collection of 4,000+ fonts took only a minute or so, and FontCase identified a few stray duplicates. FontCase uses a vault to store all your fonts in, making activating, searching and working with your fonts safer, easier and faster.
- We keep our collections in sync with the rest of system so you'll have access to them from any standard Mac app. Think Different: In the old days, Macs struggled if we installed thousands of fonts. A workaround was to activate just a few at a time, and utilities such as Fontcase evolved to help with this.
- For Mac OS: FontForge, Apple Font Book, Bohemian Coding Fontcase, Mac OS X Font Book. For Linux: FontForge.

A young application in the font management world, FontCase has gained critical acclaim due its stunning good looks, speed, stability and ease of use. The latest version adds to an already impressive list of useful features.
Version 1.5 of Fontcase brings the following updates to the program:
- Font auto-activation
- Duplicates Detection
- Automatic import of missing fonts
- Incremental export of both fonts and metadata
- Improved speed, launch time and cache size
I’ve not tried FontCase, I’ve been an Extensis Suitcase user for many years and had no reason to try anything else. But with font auto-activation finally making its way into FontCase, and the server-like font sharing feature built-in, it might just be time to give it a try.
FontCase requires Mac OS X 10.5 or higher, and costs $56 for a single user license. A demo is available for download.
