Losing track of disabled fonts: Professionals enable and disable more fonts more often than the rest of us, making it necessary to trash font caches more frequently. Other programs can use special folders and subfolders for storing your fonts. When you want another level of organization, you have to manually drag fonts in and out of subfolders, or put them in logical places for user-defined libraries. No automatic cataloging of fonts: Font Book can put fonts only in the main level of a Mac OS X Fonts folder. But its interface isn't conducive to handling extra-large font collections, and its launch time slows considerably with larger lists. Unable to handle thousands of fonts at a time: It's not that Font Book can't handle the volume-I put in well over 2000 fonts and it didn't choke. Poor handling of overlapping collections/libraries: In Font Book, turning off a collection turns off all its fonts even if they also belong to another collection that is active. No automatic activation of fonts as a document opens: This is by far the most needed professional feature the alternative is to open a document, see what fonts are missing, and then find and enable those fonts. But for professionals, it falls short in several areas: For the majority of general users, Font Book is flexible and powerful enough to take care of most font-management chores.
