MainType includes advanced features for graphic designers and typographers as well as basic features for users who just want to view and install fonts. MainType provides immediate system-wide font synchronization, with no need to refresh font lists or reboot the computer after installing fonts. The software contains a font information pane that reveals important typographic data and a groups pane that helps you quickly organize all your fonts. Nice touches are drag and drop capabilities and the ability to insert characters into background applications.
MainType works with TrueType, OpenType, TrueType Collections, Postscript Type 1, vector and raster fonts. You can preview and browse fonts on any drive, before installing them. The font manager supports all seventeen planes defined in the Unicode character database and displays all characters grouped in Unicode blocks. MainType allows you to generate an HTML-based overview of any of your fonts, print outstanding reports and export font information to clipboard and text.
Whether you're a business person who needs to find the best fonts for your flyers and brochures, a home user who wants to take control of the hundreds of fonts on your system, or a graphic designer or typographer who needs the power of an advanced font management system, this font manager has the tools that you need.
MainType 2.1 runs under Windows Vista, XP, 2003, 2000, NT, Me, 98, and 95. It costs $49.00 (US) for a single-user license, and may be purchased securely online.
