All this does is report on the number of fonts currently open on
your Mac. Put it in your Apple Menu Items folder for convenience.
It may make you feel like an IronPerson to run with a lot of fonts,
but, in fact, your system heap will be abnormally large, your
performance will be generally degraded, and your likelihood of
crashing will be increased.
Gaskill will tell you when it might be a good idea to shut down a
few suitcases.
Gaskill is named after Phil Gaskill, most famous as co-author of
QuarkXPress Tips 'n' Tricks, because I wanted to name something
after him, and because he is easily the world's biggest font snob.
