(The Help menu also links to FontExplorer’s comprehensive online usage manual and support site.) New look If you skip the Welcome Tour, it’s available later under the Help menu. In addition, users can now buy and install fonts directly from retailers such as FontShop,, Monotype, and others.Ī modern font manager must handle all these issues while remaining user friendly-and FontExplorer X Pro 5 succeeds on all these fronts. Unlike the old days, when “font management” meant activating and deactivating fonts and grouping them into sets, modern font managers also must deal with multiple desktop font formats, multiple web font formats, fonts that mysteriously arrive over the Internet but are invisible on the user’s machine (Adobe’s Typekit, for example), fonts being served from local font servers, and so on.
This may seem like a trivial feature, but fonts have become extremely complex and FontExplorer Pro is an extremely robust program. The first new feature you encounter after upgrading is a Welcome Tour. FontExplorer X Pro 5 supports all the newest technologies and apps, and runs faster than before while providing smarter organization and new design features.
Creative professionals must continually update their font management utility to keep up with new technologies and new versions of design apps-that’s just a fact of our creative life.
