Zeldman Gives Thumbs-Up to FontExplorer X

Jeffrey Zeldman:

Which interface, FontExplorer X’s or Suitcase’s, works better? Which is more attractive? Toss a coin. Both interfaces are bone-simple to understand, and both look great — FontExplorer X looks like Suitcase morphed with iTunes. Both programs make it easy to create and manage collections, but FontExplorer X additionally lets you create smart collections, a la iTunes smart playlists; and FontExplorer X provides one-click shopping for Linotype fonts.

Zeldman gives a nice shout-out to Shaun Inman’s Mint, too.
