Thanks, Gavin. Sadly, that requires money - and a server edition.
I've heard that my current version does kind of work under Snow Leopard, but I'm more inclined to stop using it altogether.

| Post subject: | Fonts and Snow Leopard |
I'm asking here, as I'm asking everywhere else at the moment. (Yes, I have spent an hour or more vainly searching for simple answers on t'interwebz to no avail.) I have a Snow Leopard disc here in front of me. I want to install it and get on with my life. One thing holds me back: fonts. As many of you know I have a large and rambling collection of fonts, mostly PostScript Type 1s, with a few OpenTypes and TrueTypes acquired over the years. Currently I use Linotype's free Font Explorer X to manage things, but that software is no longer supported. So: 1. Is LT Font Explorer X compatible with OS X 10.6.x? Can I simply upgrade my OS and carry on as before? 2. If Font Explorer is not compatible, does anyone have any ideas how I can reset my system to the standard OS fonts and remove FE before upgrading to Snow Leopard? 3. Can I use Font Book to manage the fonts, even if I don't "reset" Font Explorer before upgrading the OS? I don't actually think I need a font manager as such any more, so I'd be happy to fall back on Font Book for most things. All I'm after is some pointers to stuff I need to be aware of so when I press "install" on Snow Leopard it will be a simple, pain-free and easy experience. Ta. |

Well, there's a new version of Font Explorer X that is compatible with Snowy here. I don't know if that helps? |

Someone elsewhere has suggested a clean installation of SL, and then migrate apps and stuff over. This idea is appealing. Presumably I can migrate from the old system or Time Machine? |

I don't know what version you're running, but wouldn't it be worth ringing them up or dropping them an email to find out? |

It wouldn't, Alex. It's the freebie version, which has not been officially supported for something like two years. I'm leaning towards the clean install and migration right now. |
