Fontcase
Use this tool to view, manage and compare your Mac fonts

This is the software publisher's description.

Fontcase is a font management application that provides an elegant and powerful workflow to help you organise the fonts you have installed on your system. Designed to be an iTunes for your fonts, Fontcase has a powerful tagging system, which is designed to let you control your fonts like you control your music.

Preview every font for you, whether it is activated or not. There's no need to burden your system with thousands of fonts; you keep them all in Fontcase and activate them only when you need them. Other applications instantly recognise a new font without you having to restart them.

Share your fonts with other people just like iTunes pioneered this for music. There's one big difference: Fontcase lets you preview, then download fonts from shared libraries. A company no longer needs a centralized server to distribute new fonts through, it's all built into Fontcase.

You will often want to see how different fonts will look when used as body text or header, or you may want to see the glyph tables of different fonts at the same time. This is exactly what the Compare Tool does.
