At the HOW Design Conference today, I gave a presentation called “Wrangling Your Fonts.” Here is a list of resources that I mentioned (or didn’t mention but found useful).

• Real World Mac OS X Fonts, by Sharon Zardetto Aker (physical book version of the above ebooks, if you prefer paper).
• “The Mac OS X font managers review,” by Dave Girard; Ars Technica, 2006-12-28
• Smasher, by Insider Software. Opens old font suitcases and breaks them up into new suitcases for better font management.
