Question on: Font Book
Is there a way to preview each font listed in its actual font?When using almost any design program you can see the sample of each font in the scroll-down menu of your installed fonts, but in Font Book you can only see the names of each and have to click on each one to see a sample. Is there a way around this? Can the downloaded list be previews of its correlated font?
I actually highlight the text I’m trying to change, then I open fonts from the menu, from there I highlight the font size number and I hit Shift+Tab to highlight the font style I think and then hit it again and it should highlight the font and you can just scroll down with your keyboard. It changes the highlighted text.

Question on: FontBase
Is FontBase any good?Is FontBase any good?
Yes, Fontbase is good! I look forward to its future. The price is right as well. It took me a little while to get used to it and to understand how it works and organizes fonts. I had trouble with the fact that the macOS has its own may of dealing with fonts, and it will not play nice unless you train, wash and feed it with special food. I struggled to make Font Book get out of the way of FontBase.
When I only used Font Book a few years ago, my system memory became burdened with lots of active fonts. For me, that does not happen with FontBase.
One day it dawned on me to just get used to using Font Book for System and stubborn, finicky fonts. Use FontBase to serve design and document needs. So far it works well and the FontBase plugins for Adobe Apps works well too.
Give it a try!
