Gaskill reports on the number of fonts currently open on your Mac.
It may make you feel like an IronPerson to run with a lot of fonts,
but, in fact, your system heap will be abnormally large, your
performance will be generally degraded, and your likelihood of
crashing will be increased. Gaskill will tell you when it might be a
good idea to shut down a few suitcases. Gaskill is named after Phil
Gaskill, most famous as co-author of QuarkXPress Tips 'n' Tricks,
because I wanted to name something after him, and because he is
easily the world's biggest font snob.
