Just thought I would throw in my comments and respond to a few others.

First, I love Type Reunion. We had it where I worked this summer,
where we also had lots of typefaces. I like seeing the real
designations and of course the convienence.

Response: Some people complained they didn't get the WYSIWYG. As I
recall holding down the shift key before selecting font from a menu
will allow it to behave without ATR. One of our employees who liked
Suitcase II used this to display the faces. Personally, I never use
this feature. I either know what the face looks like (most the old
Adobe ones), or wouldn't rely on a 72 dpi bitmap to make such a
judgement call. I would refer to my _Font & Function_ or other vendor
catalogue.

Finally, I had no compatibility problems. BTW, I don't use MicroSoft
software :^)
