Morrison SoftDesign has announced FontVista 4.0 for Mac OS X. FontVista is a font catalog and inspection program that allows designers to quickly access and preview font collections. FontVista will inspect fonts that are actively loaded in a user's system, as well as fonts that are not loaded or installed. It supports numerous font formats and is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3 and higher and is available as a free demo; it can be purchased for $40, with a site-license available for $150.

The software can seach a hard drive for fonts to activate and print, or export as a PDF. It has three customizable layout templates for creating spec sheets or an entire type catalog. FontVista 4.0 also includes a slideshow tool for previewing fonts.

It is compatible with Macintosh PostScript Type 1, Macintosh TrueType suitcases, Apple dfont, PC TrueType and OpenType fonts.
