We're told to regularly backup our most important data. In the past, I was always guilty of backing up everything but my most important commercial fonts. However, these are essential for putting together buttons for websites, images for disc interfaces and, of course, for creating commercial literature using specified fonts. Getting hold of the lost fonts is even more problematic. Can you remember the fonts you used and owned? Can you remember where you got hold of those fonts?

Fontcase 1.1 is a commercial font manager for the Mac that enables you to see all your installed fonts within one application. You can quickly compare fonts, grab a symbol from a font collection and much more. However, you can do so much more. For example, using Bonjour, you can share your font collection with other users, so other users within your company could borrow or use fonts from a central repository, rather than have them installed on every machine.
