CS3 and font management

[user22873]

My workgroup has been using CS2 and FontAgentPro 3 for quite some time now. We have CS3 purchased, but the FontAgent plugins don't seem to work there- open an old document, and no fonts auto-activate.

InsiderSoftware is quiet about CS3 compatibility, so does anyone else have another competing font manager to recommend? I see extensis still says "coming soon" on their site.....

I have not tried this in CS3 but there can't be harm in trying something for free.

I'll check it out, but my hopes aren't high. Their page lists plugins for Illustrator and ID CS1 and CS2, no 3. It was also last updated on Jan 25, 2007, which is months before CS3 shipped.....

Seems like somebody in the font management business must have noticed this update.....

It is typical that font managers need to catch up with an InDesign release. This same thing happened in CS1 and CS2.
