I use Linotype's FontExplorer X.

It's a bit quirky but it works. You have to check periodically on the enabled fonts: with time, they tend to grow in number without you enabling them!

Like I had 88 enabled fonts and hadn't looked lately at FontExplorer X for a while: so yesterday I took a look and I had 169 fonts on! I had never clicked them on! FontExplorer is strange that way...

Font Book already comes with all Macs. That may suit your needs depending on what you're doing.

Very true, schweb! With my reply above, I was thinking in terms of having hundreds, even thousands of fonts installed on your Mac.

This might help you get started, chihiro.

This is a very old article but it might still be helpful.

Hope this helps.
