"Mr. Hopkins:
I am enclosing payment for Fonts Manager v3.8. As I am not online, I am also enclosing a SSAE for your convenience in sending me a registration code. Also, I am sending along an extra bit of cash for 'shipping and handling'. The program is well worth much more than you are asking! I have paid twice as much for programs which were not half as good!
You are probably tired of hearing this, but Fonts Manager is an answer to a prayer. I am finally in control! Even with my extension-laden system, your program works flawlessly!
Here's wishing you the best in all your future endeavors. It is people like yourself who help bring quality computing within the reach of all the rest of us. Many thanks for a superior program!
Sincerely,"

The registration fee for my wife's and my Macintoshs is enclosed ($20 for 2 users).
One more thing: I appreciate both your shareware distribution of Fonts Manager and your EvangeList posting. Without either, our Macs might still be messed up."

"Enclosed is a $10 check for Fonts Manager 3.7.4. I read your Fonts Manager mail, and am convinced that I've made the right choice for font management, even though I'm not sure of the scope of the issue - beyond the fact that system startup bogs down when there are too many active fonts - or the different ways the problem is approached. I agree with one of your correspondents that it would be great if you could include an overview of Why is font management a good idea, and maybe some hints or examples of uses. I know you'd do a great job of explaining; I read your discussion of how to do a clean system reinstallation -- even if you are addressing the concerns related to Fonts Manager, your description is the most straightforward I've seen about how to go about doing a reinstall I've seen. I've printed the description to have in my emergency procedures file. Thanks, and keep up the good work.
Sincerely,"

"Please find enclosed a US $10 money order for Fonts Manager 3.7 (single user fee). Although I have preferred making payments through Kee Nethery in the past, I didn't realize his commission was quite that high. So here is all the money for you, what little there is of it; $10 seems so little to pay for a program that I have been needing for a long time. Fonts Manager is slick, and a good candidate to be part of a future Mac OS (a la Extensions Manager).

"You might want to get some sort of plug onto MacInTouch and such about how Fonts Manager works with (Mac) OS 8 while Symantec's Suitcase doesn't. Especially a byline next to the lists of extensions and utilities that no longer work.
I've been using Suitcase, but I'm very excited about OS 8, and I'm not waiting for Symantec to update Suitcase before I buy the new system. I'm downloading Fonts Manager tonight, and going to CompUSA ... to buy OS 8 tomorrow.
Thanks,"

I'm very disappointed with Adobe's new ATM 4.0 Deluxe; some of its features break new ground, but strictly as a fonts management tool, it seems quirky and overly-complicated. I'm hopeful that your newest version of Fonts Manager does the job without ATM's overhead. The $10 fee makes it easy to do the right thing, too. I seem to remember encountering problems with an earlier version of FM, 'bout a year ago (slowness/AppleScript) but I'm ready for a fresh look; I'd dearly love to part with my $10 bucks this time!"

"I downloaded Fonts Manager 3.6.2 from the Internet today and have just spent the last few hours trying it out. Maybe I haven't given it a full enough try, but as of now I can't say warmly enough how pleased I am with its performance and the whole concept behind it.
I use an original Mac Classic (68K) with System 7.1 and only 4 megs of RAM, so I'm particularly wary of how much RAM my applications and utilities take up. I happen to believe that truly efficient computing should be done with less RAM, not more, and any font utility that contributes to that end, I'm interested in. I've tried both Suitcase and Master Juggler, and what I get from them usually is system crashes. But Fonts Manager seems to do all the basic set-making I need quickly and correctly and simply. And no, I don't mind restarting the computer to activate different font configurations. Well done, sir.
I would make only one tentative suggestion: for those users who have no experience with font manipulation a brief manual (maybe two or three pages of TeachText) -- in addition to or in place of the Help file -- might be in order.
The licensing agreement for Fonts Manager in the version I have specifies a fee of (only!) $10.00, but I'm enclosing a little extra with my registration, because I think the sharing of such intelligence of design should be rewarded.
Thanks for making my Christmas a little merrier. I hope yours is, too."
