You know, maybe I'm a weirdo. (resist the urge, people.) If someone makes a pop-culture or other reference that I don't "get," I look it up. I've picked up some lovely colloquialisms and naughty bits that way. (Like that, in fact--"naughty bits." Definitely more UK than US.)

They don't make postage stamps small enough to contain my dribble of knowledge about fonts, glyphs and such - still less the management thereof.

Wow, you mean you don't know everything? Zoiks, Red, I was sure you had some font-wrangling in your history. Not kidding you. You're usually a wellspring of information on "stuff."

Good luck with the search for software, but take courage: I think I've settled on a desktop search tool that isn't just another 'me too' - X1. Not cheap and at times it looks a bit lego-ish, but has the features I want. Sadly the only worthwhile thing Yahoo ever started was their desktop search -  - then they discontinued it, been looking ever since.

Do you REALLY like it? Does it really deliver for you, beyond what you can do with Google, or DuckDuckGo? What do you get, for the $50-$70 that you don't get with the usual suspects? (note for the posting-crispness police: that's a pop culture reference. SEE:

Y'know, Red...I was hoping for help with narrowing DOWN, winnowing my software-addiction. Now I'm craving the X1. Dammit, Red! ;-)
Will await your detailed report on the X1. Meanwhile...
My only real "worry" about PopChar is, will its automated functions (like the char map, or the popup/sidebar that works with other programs) conflict with Suitcase Fusion? SF already does some of the things that PC does. {sigh}.
Screw it. I'll dl it and see if it does. I would say something infamous here, like, "what's the worst that can happen," but, BTDT. ("Been There, Done That.")
Thanks, guys.
