Utilities Updates: FastFontMenu Patcher, Reaper, PhotoGraphics, and more

FastFontMenu Patcher There is a problem with FastFontMenu 2.0 and some applications (so far, mostly standalone HyperCard stacks). To solve the problems, use FastFontMenu Patcher. It will disable FastFontMenu for applications which have problems with it. A revised version of FastFontMenu, that fixes the problem altogether, is expected soon.

Reaper 1.21 is the latest version of this utility that "allows you to control the heap allocation for applications that you may not otherwise adjust. Examples are CD-ROM applications, the Finder and background applications. It also features a RAM Charger like expansion of the heap of applications you choose." [You can also get this from the MacFixIt Download Library.]

PowerLogix's AutoCache 1.0b3 is out. It is "a utility which will automatically determine the type and size of your backside cache on any PowerPC 750 processor. Moreover, it automatically detects the fastest processor-to-cache ratio that your cache SRAMs can support."
