- TypeFitter (free) manipulates text in Adobe InCopy or InDesign to produce better results than just adjusting scaling or tracking. Users can tighten, loosen or restore text, and automatically find widows and oversets. TypeFitter for InCopy is now a free plug-in, having previously cost $60. The InDesign version is still a paid product. [Download - Size Unknown]
