dropbox

I'm looking to sync my fonts between my Macbook and iMac using a combination of FontExplorer X and Dropbox.

I've seen a few blog posts that confirm that it is possible by using a symbolic link on the database folder. But for some reason I can't seem to find that folder (I'm thinking it may have been changed/moved in the newer releases of FEX?)

It in this line [Application Support/Linotype/Font Explorer/fontexplorer x.fexdb]

But the Linotype no longer exists in Application Support.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
