How can I manage fonts on my Macintosh?

Font Management

If you only have a few favorite fonts, and are content with them, then there is no need to go beyond the built-in capabilities of your OS to manage them. Although more than ten or fifteen fonts will slow down the loading of some word processing programs, the slowdown will be minimal unless your font collection gets out of hand.

However, if you are a serious candidate for Fontaholics Anonymous, you should consider purchasing a good Font Management package. In my opinion, the best one is Adobe Type Manager, although some users prefer Suitcase or TypeTamer.
