FontAgent Pro for Panther Released

World’s Only Mac OS X Native Font Management and Repair Software

Gets Panther Compatibility Upgrade, New Installer, and Adobe CS Support

December 30, 2003 [Los Gatos, CA] Insider Software announced today the release of version 1.4 of FontAgent Pro, the world’s first OS X native font management and repair utility and the only font manager to offer auto-activation in Adobe Photoshop CS. FontAgent Pro has created a new class of font management and repair software for Mac OS X users, and the new release brings all of its strengths to users of Panther (Mac OS X 10.3.2), Apple’s latest generation operating system. In addition to Panther support under Mac OS X 10.3.2, the new release takes advantage of Apple’s latest installer technology and a new simplified installation process.

Written in Cocoa and entirely OS X native, FontAgent Pro is the only font utility that handles the tasks of font management and repair in a single program. With a few clicks, it repairs or eliminates corrupt fonts, partial and unmatched fonts, duplicate fonts and unnecessary point sizes, and builds optimized, organized font libraries. Users can then build font sets, activate and deactivate fonts, as well as use the unique Font Player to preview fonts and print font catalogs. FontAgent Pro’s clean, modern interface uses a single, unified window design and extensive drag-and-drop support to make any font management task simple and straightforward.

FontAgent Pro offers a unique set of features never before available in a single product, including the ability to:

Define multiple font libraries that can be opened simultaneously Rename font files with meaningful file names for easy management Verify fonts on the fly as they are imported, activated, or exported Reorganize scattered fonts into useful libraries that maintain original font-file formats Perform extensive analysis and repair damaged or corrupt fonts View lists of fonts and group and sort them with a click — even in WYSIWYG mode Automatically activate and deactivate fonts, using Insider’s SmartSense™ technology that incorporates FontAgent’s plug-in architecture to ensure compatibility even with non Mac OS X compliant applications Preview and print fonts with proprietary FontPlay™ technology that displays and prints any string through selected fonts the way a media player plays songs Instantly create and print a font book showing different text and styles so users can see what their work will look like in print

FontAgent Pro offers a very intuitive and familiar interface, and is the ideal replacement for ATM Deluxe™ for Macintosh, as well as other older font managers that were not designed from the ground up for Mac OS X.

The New Face of Font Management and Repair

FontAgent Pro enables users to build font libraries and font sets, automatically activate and deactivate fonts, preview fonts in various typefaces, and save system resources and precious time by opening only the fonts required for a user’s current projects. Only FontAgent Pro takes advantage of the rich features available in Cocoa that have permitted such innovations as Insider’s trademarked FontPlay™ technology that permits real-time interactive display of fonts, making the selection of the perfect font a joy.

System Requirements

FontAgent Pro requires Mac OS X version 10.2 or later (including Panther), 3MB of available disk space, and 7MB of memory.

Pricing and Availability

FontAgent Pro is priced at a suggested retail of $99.95 ($89.95 for electronic download) and is available for immediate download at Insider Software’s web site::
