[G4] Font managers and OS choices?

[Franck Goldberg]

Download the following manual from Apple (valid for X prior to Jaguar):
http://manuals.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Manuals/overview/ 
L25032B_EN.pdf

Jaguar includes FontBook, a font management utitlity.  Check the Apple  
support pages for that (Sorry, I don't use Jaguar yet).

Hope this helps.

Franck.
