About FontAgent Pro for Windows

Many Windows users think they are immune to font problems, but by storing all their fonts in the Fonts Control Panel, they waste system resources, inflate font menus, slow system performance and risk random crashes. With FontAgent Pro, they can optimize their Fonts Control Panel and organize, view, compare, select, activate, print, export, archive and manage all their fonts, optimizing their PC’s performance. It outperforms Extensis Suitcase and other font managers by wide margins and is the only product to integrate font diagnostics and repair, font book creation, multiple font libraries, keyword font search, and cascading sets with real-time font preview and activation tools in a powerful, yet simple application. A version of FontAgent Pro 4 is already available for Mac OS X.
