(1) a font manager than doesn't require a decade of techinal expertice to operate.
I want to be able to create my own groups of fonts, and easily active or deactive them based on what mood project I'm playing with. Sure I have a gig of ram, but why waste it?

(2a) an application that will show Type1 previews of all the files in a directory (and subdirectories)
(2b) optionally print them
(2c) generate a web page viewable without needing the original fonts of the viewer's machine
2a - 2c needn't be all in one application
thanks a bunch !!!!
