Font Management

Hope I'm posting this in the right section...

To manage my fonts I'm using FontExplorer X instead of Apple's FontBook. My question is: Is it possible to totally desactivate FontBook? Can it be uninstalled and if so, what will happen with the necessary system and application fonts by default? Instead of uninstalling it wouldn't it be more appropiate to just desactivate all the fonts and/or sets it manages?

I have visually been comparing what fonts both applications manage and it seems they mimic each other, except for those fonts that where specifically added within one program or another.

I'm a graphic designer and have tons of fonts installed in my iMac, so before I cruise around experimenting and maybe creating havoc while at it, I would appreciate it if somebody steer me in the right direction

Best regards.

...and you seem to be right. I should have done some further testing before posting. Experimenting some I found that either application will recognize which fonts the other one activates or desactivates. It's a little trickier with system fonts as some of them seem to be locked and can only be activated or desactived within FontBook and not using FontExplorer.

When I checked the link that anyRiggs provided, this screen shot caught my attention (see below)

It seems to be avery convenient way to find a particular font using one single letter...but I can't get to this window within FontBook!!! Any help here?
