One of the more powerful features, the Smart Set, works just like Find, except that your Sets automatically update as new fonts meet the criteria. The Find feature lets you search for fonts based on a wide range of criteria, such as font format, foundry name, slant, comments, and much more. InDesign, InCopy, Illustrator, and QuarkXPress already have a built-in Glyph panel. A nice touch is the ability to drag-and-drop the glyphs into a program however, Photoshop is the only major program that really needs this feature, and I couldn't get it to work. The new Glyph View lets you see the actual glyphs (often called 'characters').

Both Font Player and Font Compare allow you to print a specimen book (and with Mac OS PDF tools, you can print to PDF). Font Compare is similar, but shows all the selected fonts at once in a scrollable window. With Font Player you automatically scan through fonts (via selection, Set, or Library) to preview them one at a time. Useful features in FontAgent Pro 5 for finding just the font you want include Font Player, Font Compare, Glyph View, Find, Smart Sets, and Font Classifier. A Set is part of FontAgent Pro but it doesn't reorganize your fonts on the hard drive however, Sets may be exported. A Set is a simple, folder-like organization, and as with folders, you may have Sets within Sets. (While this feature is promoted as new, it's simply a Finder search, and is woefully documented in the online Help, the Help PDF, and the website.) From there, fonts can be broken down further into Sets, again based on the designer's needs. (If desired, you have the option to delete the original fonts after copying.) FontAgent Pro can also auto-gather fonts via an AppleScript. (Professional designers with a repertoire of hundreds or thousands of fonts generally need a robust font manager.) The fonts are added to a central location but not to a locked database they're simply checked for missing/corrupt fonts, copied, and organized. You can have as many Libraries as you wish, depending on how you like to organize your fonts. FontAgent Pro 5 works on the premise of Libraries and Sets.
