In addition to its modest number of new features, there are many improvements to FontExplorer X Pro 3. This new version makes it easier to switch to it from other font managers by letting you import the sets you created in those programs. You can now import complete libraries, with structure, by simply dragging all the sets from inside ( Macworld rated 4.5 out of 5 mice ) or FontAgent Pro into the Fonts area of FontExplorer X.

Version 3 also builds on the program's previous Preview feature: you can now watch a slide show to flip through multiple fonts, and drag a sample over any area of your display--using your own text in any color, size, leading, tracking, and so forth. This is incredibly handy for exploring headline options on a document you have open in any program. It will even show the slideshow as a transparent overlay on your documents.

Version 2 allowed you to define "smart" sets that would automatically add any fonts that met your specific requirements, such as font format, manufacturer, classification, designer, number of activations, embedding rights, label, rating, and so on. Version 3 now lets you organize your smart sets into folders.

You can now add comments to sets, either for yourself or to inform other users about them. This feature is especially handy when using the server version of FontExplorer X Pro, because when users mouse over a set, they can see the comments added by administrator.
