“Powerful font manager”

by Nick Mead about FontExplorer X

FontExplorer X Pro is a professional font manager that gives you the power to manage all of your fonts in one stroke.

It allows you to manage, activate and organize your current font collection as well as find and experiment with newer ones.

The first thing you notice about FontExplorer X Pro is that it handles huge volumes of fonts very quickly. There are literally thousands of classic designs to choose from including the very latest releases from font designers.

FontExplorer X Pro is designed to be used with FontExplorer X Server although the latter isn't essential if you don't need to access it over a network.

Managing fonts in FontExplorer X Pro could also have been made easier. If you want to delete a pack of fonts for example, it can be quite awkward.

However, activating fonts is a breeze although there were several reported issues when Snow Leopard was released which seem to have been resolved now.

Pros
  • Thousands of fonts to choose from
  • Includes the very latest designs
  • Fast to activate fonts
Cons
  • Can be prone to bugs when upgrading OS

Developer's description

FontExplorer™ X sets a new standard for font management software. Linotype is pleased to announce the missing link to your font collection. With the new FontExplorer™ X, font management, font sorting, font shopping and font discovery are simple and fun!

FontExplorer™ X gives computer users all the functionality they ever dreamed – easy to use with an elegant style.

Powerful font handling

Organize your fonts just like your media files – using a library, folders, tags and even smart sets.

You want direct access to all typefaces from a certain foundry? All italics? Or all fonts tagged with a certain keyword? FontExplorer™ X makes this easy!

All fonts and formats are recognized automatically and can be managed in a comfortable way. You decide whether FontExplorer™ X should take control over the folder structure, or if you want to leave it untouched – we built this software to be as unobtrusive as possible.

Built-in online store

Ever wanted to browse through fonts you want in the same way as the fonts you already have? Try Linotype’s FontExplorer™ X and its integrated shopping solution.

Whenever you are looking for a particular font, you will find it here. And the best part: you can try it and play around with it before you buy it.

Examine and compare fonts inside FontExplorer™ X’s online store as if they were installed on your system. If you found your favourite, add it to your shopping cart and purchase it with only a few clicks.

This is a whole new font licensing experience.

Auto-activation

Finally an auto-activation function that really works! FontExplorer™ X lets you decide which applications may request fonts, and which may not.

And of course there are plugins for popular DTP apps like Adobe® InDesign®, Adobe Illustrator® and Quark® XPress®.

Detailed font information

FontExplorer™ X shows virtually every bit of information a font file can contain.

You can examine the complete character set, inform yourself about the legal stuff or just see a few sample paragraphs to know how a font looks like in real-life context.
