Fontagent pro.rar windows8/7/2023 ![]() Purchased individually, the fonts and software in FontAgent Pro Plus are worth thousands of dollars.įontAgent Pro Plus runs on Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, Windows XP SP2, and Windows Vista, and requires 100 megabytes of available disk space. Versions of FontAgent Pro Plus are also available in Workgroup and Server-Connected versions for an additional $30 per user. The retail price for FontAgent Pro Plus is $249.95 (USD), but is available at an introductory price of $149.95 for a limited time, and can be purchased online from Insider Software. The collection includes more than 150 book and text fonts 400 creative and display fonts 80 script and handwritten fonts 25 typewriter and mono-width fonts and a wide selection of symbol and dingbat fonts. The 750 professional-quality fonts in FontAgent Pro(TM) Plus are from the world-renowned Bitstream Font Library and have well-defined kerning pairs, full character sets and reliable metadata. The new offering is available immediately for Mac OS X as well as Windows XP/Vista platforms. Insider Software announced FontAgent Pro Plus, which bundles 750 professional OpenType fonts from Bitstream with FontAgent Pro 4, Insider’s industry-leading font manager. The collection contains well-defined kerning pairs, full Character Sets,and reliable metadata, and includes book and text fonts, creative and display fonts, script and handwriting fonts, mono-width fonts and symbol and dingbat fonts. Any updates to this type of manager could add features like checking validity, licenses, or duplcation of fonts, acknowledge new formats like OT, and even resolve conflicts.Insider Software and Bitstream today announced that they had partnered to bring a bundle of professional OpenType fonts from Bitstream’s extensive professional OpenType font collection to purchasers of FontAgent Pro Plus for Macintosh and Windows. To my mind, the paradigm of ATM and Suitcase is very worthy of maintenance: Put fonts in a logical place, like the job folder, or a temporary fonts folder, then use the Font Manager to activate or de-activate them, leaving them untouched. Still, it’s not enough to make me switch to a hoarding-style manager. I’ve only encountered one “bug” relating to font formats or conditions that prevent activation. Given these options, I’ve been very happy with Suitcase’s continued ability to reveal information without destroying data or my sanity. Putting fonts in the right folder in System 10 is like being in an alternate universe where ATM, Suitcase and everything else had never been invented. ![]() ![]() The reason is that I’m a font developer, and testing fonts a few times in the course of designing is a necessity. Does this new version of FontAgent move, copy, or otherwise actively change locations of fonts? I realize for shared situations like agencies, the server paradigm might seem a godsend, but I have to say, as a person who uses a few new fonts at a time, sometimes for a total of minutes, and then either THROWS THEM AWAY (gasp) or relegates them to a storage tank, I do NOT want the font manager to duplicate, shuffle, hide or otherwise act on my font data. If nothing else, its hurried release shows how urgent the OS X font crisis is. It may be the most unfinished piece of software Apple has spewed since OS X’s first versions. Hopefully the strong new features in FAP 2 will be a wake up call for Extensis and Alsoft.Īpple’s fledgling Font Book, by the way, is barely worthy of mention. ![]() While the other guys flail about with competition buyouts and slow, disappointing updates, Insider actually seems to care about making a decent font manager. Unfortunately, my experience with this feature was buggy — most of the fonts get cut off at the bottom.įontAgent Pro still lacks the solid UI of the now defunct ATM Deluxe and some irritating bugs need attention, but it remains the best thing we’ve got for OS X. New preview pane samples several fonts at once as line showings. Plug-ins for Illustrator CS, InDesign CS, and Photoshop CS join the existing auto-activators for their previous versions and Quark 6. UPDATE: This feature is part of a new product called FontAgent Pro Workgroup Edition I have yet to try this, but I will very soon and report here. FAP uses Rendezvous to allow you to share fonts with no configuration. For example: make a set for a client and various sets within for each of that client’s projects. Now powered by an industrial-strength SQL database, the developers claim FAP is better at handling large font collections. UPDATE, JAN 13: The new features are now listed at Insider Software’s site. Enhancements to the most capable font manager for OS X include: Insider Software released FontAgent Pro 2.0 this week. Written by Stephen Coles on January 10, 2004
