Managing fonts has become a bit of a black art, but it doesn’t have to be. Using tools built right in to OS X, you can manage a font collection with ease.

In addition to covering OS X’s built-in Font Book application, we’ll explore a couple of more powerful apps as well.

Topics covered in this TechUniversity screencast on Font Management in OS X (subscription required):

  • Interacting with fonts
  • Installing fonts
  • Organizing fonts
  • Limitations of Font Book
  • Font Explorer X Pro
  • Fontcase

Below is a sample of the video. The full screencast clocks in at just over 15 minutes.
