Linotype launches FontExplorer X 1.0

Linotype FontExplorer X


Linotype today officially launched FontExplorer X 1.0 for Mac OS X. Following a discrete pre-launch towards the end of 2005, the new font management tool allows users to sort fonts and view samples as well as provides access to Linotype’s comprehensive online library for seamless licensing and downloading of fonts. FontExplorer X 1.0 supports the management of all fonts a user has on their computer, regardless of the source. The company said that the open standard platform is designed for the management and licensing of fonts and that third-party foundries are able to offer their fonts via the same seamless platform (for a minimum transaction fee). Linotype has already reached agreements with foundries such as primetype, P22, Font Diner, x and y Ltd., Dutch Fonts, and Virus Fonts -- all of which will now offer their fonts for licensing via FontExplorer X 1.0 as well. The software is free and currently available for Mac OS X only (a PC version is in development).
