Smasher is a multipurpose font utility that enables creative professionals to extract optimal performance from their design applications. Smasher streamlines font suitcases and cleans font caches to eliminate a variety of common font problems and improve the performance of Mac OS X systems.

Smasher enables users to view all fonts in a suitcase—including legacy Mac OS 9 suitcases that may contain numerous fonts from a multitude of families and foundries—and smash the suitcases into their smallest components.

To smash a suitcase, users simply select it and click the Smash button, or drag suitcases or fonts to the Desktop or a folder. Smasher automatically creates new, more efficient and manageable suitcases.

Here are some key features of "Smasher":
Find suitcases, families and fonts
Streamline old, bloated suitcases
Seperate font formats
Verify font outlines
Clear Mac OS and application font caches
View fonts, foundries and permissions.

Limitations:
You can not smash fonts or suitcases in demo mode.

What's New:
Improves performance of all font managers including FontBook.
Automatic cache cleaning for Adobe, Quark, Microsoft Office and Mac OS X.
