great review, thanks for the link, Nancy!
I try to use some tools in the past (one of them was the Font Thing for Windows) but I gave up. So now I just use the defaul program on my mac (I don't even remember what it's called - Fonts?). But it's always good to see what's going on in that area.

I also use the default program on my MAC which works just fine.

Just got Suitcase so will be trying that out. I believe the default mac program is called Font Book.

I use my brain to figure out which font I need plus nowadays got almost every name of the list in my own head, plus mainly use pretty much the same fonts allot cause those I know would work the best.
