I was skeptical about the commercial version of Linotype’s font manager FontExplorer X Pro 2.0 ($79), but quickly discovered that its features are so deep it eclipses those from other font managers.

And yes, it auto-activates fonts in documents you open with QuarkXPress 6, 7 and 8.
They also have a server version that includes access to thousands of fonts — but it’s surprisingly expensive.
