 Preview fonts in X Finder How can I preview my fonts (TT and PS) in the Finder ?! I can't believe I have to use a freeware to do this. Apple integrated PostScript — and they don't let us preview fonts, neither TT or PS !!! I really hope this is coming in Jaguar, Apple's losing points from a designer's point of view.

| As a graphics designer, I can't live without a good font management tool, anyway, so I guess your 'Apple losing points' argument doesn't quite hold its water. However, it *should* be a function of the Finder, since there already is a Preview Pane in Column view. But sadly, as of 6C48, it is not.

 No water held, true. I use FontExampler to preview my fonts. As I still work under OS9, reasons for this being that OSX is not productive enough and that software is missing (Quark), i use ATMD as most design people (I tried Extensis Suitcase, i couldn't get I what I wanted from it). FontExampler is free at versiontracker.com

| This will open only True Type fonts, which means I can't preview my PostScript files, neither their Printer file or their Bitmap screen file* (this last one I could in OS9). And that's a real REAL problem. *: FFIL file
