1.) Is there a resolve to font management with Freeway 5? At the moment I have to restart Freeway every time I activate a new font.
2.) Does anybody know of a guide to building css rollover menus which consists of text on a normal state and then test with a block of colour highlighting the text on rollover?

Have a look at the CSS menus in Freeway 5; you can get a lot of
variation in looks.

No. Like every modern Mac app, this doesn’t work. THIS IS MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT WITH MAC APPS. You need plug ins for the font managers to auto activate in a few Adobe products, but open a new font, quit PS or Illy and wait forever for those apps to start up again. Painful when you really want to experiment with letterstyles all day in a production environment.
I don’t know why all apps can’t behave like the sadly discontinued and oldstyle Freehand. You don’t have to restart the app when you activate fonts. Open fonts all day long and Freehand faithfully shows the font.
As for Freeway, this really isn’t a problem unless for some reason you are using a bunch of graphic text. I made that mistake on my first website, using crazy fonts all over the place that end up being pretty, but are totally useless in real life on the web.
Linotype Fontexplorer X has an Illustrator plugin if that helps and I
find it works quite well. Also Quark and InDesign but not,
strangely, Photoshop. Still, better than nothing and best of all it
is free.
