So I had a bit of a Dark Weekend of the Soul when I tried putting an apparently corrupt font file into my Font Reserve (yeah I paid $90 for it, shut up) on like Tuesday or Wednesday and it decided to basically die, right. So I tried getting rid of that and trying Suitcase and let me tell you something, Suitcase sucks bad. "Hi, I will die if you try to put more than 20 fonts into me at one time, that will be $100." Uh what. Then all my applications started dying. Then yesterday I magically managed to finally completely uninstall and reinstall Font Reserve and plonk all 6,500 fonts into it AT ONCE, then find a helpful Apple Support message suggesting that yes, I do indeed need to have both Helvetica and Helvetica Neue on at all times. BING, happy days. And to think I came thisclose to doing a system reinstall. If Extensis keeps favoring sucko Suitcase over Font Reserve I think I will riot in the streets. I'd also like to thank them for the helpful tech service message they sent me today: Greetings... At present we do not support Font Reserve under Panther (OS 10.3). The ellipsis was my favorite part.
