I have the Mac version at work and since I needed a font manager for my PC at home I decided to get a familiar brand. Well, the difference is huge. I've used it only a few days and it seems to work OK, however the offered features are by far more limited, which puzzles me why??!!?

1. On the Mac version they have "keywords" that describe fonts like "script", "serif" and so on. You can narrow your search a lot if you click on any of those. Besides, you can create your own keywords. This feature is entirely missing from the Windows version.

2. When I search for a font I have to scroll down through all the fonts I have in order to find one that I'm looking for. When you have over a 1000 fonts that becomes annoying! The Mac version has a "find" field which lets you type the first few characters of the name of the font you are looking for and it gives you all fonts that start with those - uh, much faster and user friendly!

3. The Mac version lets you create your own sets of favorite fonts, so you don't have to scroll through all the sets you have, this again is missing. (Disclaimer: this maybe due to the fonts being on a server, but i'm not sure if that's the case)

Overall, I'd say a disappointing job for a company who has alredy accomplished alot with their Mac version. You have more work to do!

This feels like an abandoned version of suitcase but yet since there are no other choices, extensis keeps it on the shelf.

Basic functionality are there without consideration of how people actually work with font. You can see the fonts but cannot click on them and add it to another set.

Very disappointed.
