I Let My Fists Do The Talkin’

I just downloaded Linotype’s FontExplorer X. An amazinglly generic name for a program. It’s free, which is its main selling point for me. It’s really an iTunes for fonts, with a “shop” tag embedded. I only have a hundred or so songs on my iTunes (I don’t have an iPod, so what’s the point of loading my record collection in), but I’ve only run half my font collection into FontExplorer and it’s topping 800.

I had been using an old version of Suitcase, which didn’t make the trip to OSX Tiger. It exists only as buggy pop-up screens telling me that it isn’t working when I start Photoshop. The most immediately irritating thing of Font Explorer is that it doesn’t interface with Photoshop/Illustrator. In fact, it seems to have totally disabled my ability to type in Photoshop.

I also don’t have a working version of Word. That’s like being retarded in computer.
