WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.5.1:
- Added PlugIns for Adobe Illustrator CS5, Adobe InDesign CS5 and Adobe PhotoShop CS5 (Intel Macs, OS 10.5 or higher).
- Added the menu item \'Log out\' to the server context menu and to the \'Server\' menu.
- Users with offline permission will now have access to their downloaded server fonts at all times. Offline mode will automatically be in effect whenever disconnected from the server - prior to login and following logout. The Work Offline and Work Online menu items have therefore been removed from the server context menu.
- Offline mode would not go into effect after restarting FontExplorer X Pro when disconnected from the FontExplorer X Server.
- Increasing/Decreasing the Preview font size via the toolbar icons did not produce the correct result.
- When QuarkXPress 8 was installed, the option to clean the QuarkXPress font caches was occasionally disabled in the \'Clean Application Font Caches\' dialog.
- It was possible to drag multiple items to the name field of a Set or Folder making the names in the source list unreadable. This is no longer possible. Multi-line Set names that occurred with an earlier version of FontExplorer X Pro will be reduced to one line following this software update. It is however, recommended to correct the names to avoid extremely long entries in the Information Area and Smart Set dialog. To do this:
- Select the Set or Folder
- Double click on the name or hit the Enter key
- Assign a new meaningful name
- Resolved with Mac OS X 10.6.3 - Postscript Type 1 fonts residing in a suitcase which contained more than 10 font styles would not always activate in FontExplorer X Pro and their preview showed \'Not Available\'.
- Mac OS X 10.6.x only: Right-clicking in the Summary tab of the Font Information dialog would produce a crash.
- \'Contained in\' did not show all the Sets a font was contained in but instead only showed the Font Library. This effected both the small information area in the lower left of the main window and the Summary tab of the Font Information dialog.
- Adobe InDesign CS3 & CS4 PlugIn: With certain documents InDesign would hang during font activation.
- Various unrelated crashes.
- When attempting to overwrite FontExplorer X Pro with a newer version, a \'Fatal Error ... unauthorized bundle\' message may appear when there is a problem with permissions on the file you are attempting to replace. Should this occur, delete the older version of FontExplorer X and re-copy the newer version to your Applications folder
- Plug-ins will not activate fonts required by graphic objects (EPS) contained in a document. You may either manually activate these fonts prior to opening the document or embed the required fonts in graphic objects
- Mac OS X 10.5.x only (Resolved with OS 10.6): Removing font suitcases from a System Collection may cause FontExplorer X Pro to crash if some of the fonts in the suitcase are not activated. This may also occur when resolving conflicts and the font suitcase is contained in a System Collection
- Using OS X 10.5.6 - Activate or deactivate the entire suitcase and then remove the suitcase from the collection
- Using OS X 10.5.8 - Move the fonts you wish to keep to a new System Collection, then delete the System Collection containing the suitcase font
- Mac OS X 10.4 only: Checkboxes in the Font Classification dialog are not shown under Mac OS X 10.4 but Auto Classification still works correctly.
- When the FontExplorer X Pro main window is closed with Cmd+W or Cmd+0 any time after the color picker window was visible, the color picker window will be reopened. Workaround: Use Cmd+H to hide FontExplorer X Pro and the color picker will not be displayed.
- After fast user switching FontExplorer X Pro refreshes the fonts in order to ensure that any System Font changes made by other users are available to all users on that machine. When doing this, the FontExplorer X Pro main window will always come to the foreground.
- PlugIns: Font activation with Adobe Photoshop CS3/CS4/CS5. Situation: Fonts have been activated by FontExplorer X Pro (automatically or manually) after starting the program Adobe Photoshop CS3, CS4 or CS5. Selecting a text layer in Photoshop will cause a message to appear stating that the fonts are missing for the text layer and font substitution will occur. Continue? This message should be responded to with \'OK\'. Activated fonts will be correctly displayed and not substituted.
- PlugIns: Font activation for Adobe Illustrator Documents. When opening a document Illustrator will always display the \'Font Problems\' dialog stating that the fonts were not found and that missing fonts have been substituted. Respond to this with \'Open\'. If manual font activation is in effect, the PlugIn dialog will now be shown and you can manually activate your fonts. When using auto activation the fonts will be automatically activated.The Illustrator document will initially be displayed using a default font. Within a few seconds the fonts will automatically update.
