Hi,

I was surprised that I didn't find any thread on Font Management. It can be a designer's nightmare if there is no good font management.

On the mac I am using FontExplorer X. It was free till lately and very good. Now it is a commercial application.

My problem, though, is on the Windows machines. I have Bitsream Font Navigator, that came with the Corel Suite. It is not good, but at least it reduces the headache a bit.

What are the best options for a mixed (Mac and Windows) environment? With or without a server.

The free OSX version still exists so you may want to update to 1.2.3 before/if it disappears. You can also keep an eye on the alleged Windows version that they are developing.

You're not alone in this quest. There's a good answer to your question here:
