 VERY-off topic..
I have a friend who lives in Mississaugua now...
She has chronic depression, and has made no friends since moving there around 10 years ago..
If you know any lonely people in their 30s who want a needy friend.. let me know. :)
(yeah, Cheryl.. keep dreaming.)

Yesterday I've stumbled upon this fantastic suite of small applications, targeted to fonta management and font recognition:
http://klesha28.ucoz.ru/index/0-4
Unfortunately for most you it's in Russian ONLY. The program does almost everything that Suitcase, FontAgent and other management programs are capable of and besides that is FREE :) It doesn't require installation. It also has a neat font recognition tool, which allows you to load a scanned image of the font you're looking for, then it scans your whole library of fonts to find the closest match (I've tested it and it's damn accurate). It has proprietary font drawing algorithm which means that it's nearly 100% faster than Suitcase.
Other cool things : you to enter some text and then when you choose specific font, the app allows you to copy the selected text as Adobe Illustrator outlines to clipboard (I have been dreaming for such feature :) Export as various image formats (PNG with alpha transparency too) available. It also allows you to see the actual vector data of a given character, with bezier curve handles and points.
Few drawbacks tho:
it only allows you to temporarily enable fonts, in other words when you restart Windows, they will be disabled.
It crashes when you try to add large font collections like Adobe Font Folio 9 for example.
Definitely something to watch in the future.
