Sort your font suitcases and printer fonts into 'Sets', like Extensions Manager!
Fonts Manager™ 3.11 is functionally similar to the System 7.5.x Extensions Manager, but it is NOT a control panel. It is more like a Desk Accessory. It allows the enabling and disabling of font suitcases and printer fonts in 'Sets'. It supports Balloon help and a Topical Help system. Unlike other utilities, such as Suitcase™ and Master Juggler™, it works on ALL Macs with System 7.1 or later, including 7.5.3, without modifying the NORMAL startup and operation of your computer. Thousands worldwide running all kinds of Macs have switched to Fonts Manager to get 'Up & Running'.
NEW in 3.11:
- International Version for localized System Software
AOL (Computing/Software Libraries/Desktop Publishing or Software Search).
Shareware fee is $10 for Fonts Manager (FREE to registered users of ALL earlier versions). $25 for the Mac OS 8 version when available (save time/hassle - pay now). Site licenses available at SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED PRICES. Inquire within...
Installation Instructions
1 Drop the file called "Fonts Manager™ Help" into the Preferences folder in the System Folder.
- For localized (non-US) System Software versions, make a NEW folder called 'Preferences' (must be the English spelling) in the System Folder, and drop it there.
2 Drop the file called "••FM SmartFont" onto the CLOSED System Folder icon, to install this dummy font file.
3 Launch Fonts Manager™ (keep stored anywhere you like - I prefer the Apple Menu).
- For localized (non-US) System Software versions, to make command-key combinations work properly, select the 'US' keyboard layout from the layout (flag) menu just to the right of the Apple Guide menu.
4 Repeat step 3 as needed...

I make no guarantee that this software will perform to any set of anyone's standards. It should never fail, because it does not do any mumbo-jumbo at startup (like Suitcase™ or Master Juggler™).
I completely own the rights to this software, and I reserve the right to sell these rights to the highest bidder at any time, if the price is right...
