Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced Adobe Font Folio (http://www.adobe.com/products/fontfolio/) for print, the web, digital video and electronic documents and is natively supported across Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows XP.
Based on the recent revision and update of the Adobe Type Library, Font Folio 11 includes 176 new fonts (http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/landing/garamond/garamond.html)," said Don
Walker, senior director, Product Marketing and Business Development, Print and Classic Publishing Solutions at Adobe. "We've also further refined our implementation of OpenType,
continuing our 25-year tradition of making the world's highest-quality digital fonts."
Design with Superior Typefaces
Adobe fonts offer reliable quality whether output to inkjet printers, laser printers, imagesetters or platesetters. Advertisers can enhance marketing materials by creating animated GIFs
and other typographically rich elements for web pages or by adding cutting-edge title effects to digital video and multimedia projects.
Font Folio 11 offers special Opticals packages that provide four or more separate designs for each font, each optimized for a different range of point sizes, from tiny text for footnotes
to large type for headlines. Many of the OpenType fonts in Adobe Font Folio 11 contain an expanded glyph set and advanced typographic features, providing designers with the ability to
enhance their compositions with typographic extras such as swashes, small caps and old-style figures.
Create with OpenType Flexibility
The OpenType format displays and prints fonts seamlessly on Macs and PCs and can be used alongside existing font formats in all documents. In addition, printers can easily publish
multilingual documents with FontFolio 11 Unicode support, including Central and Eastern European languages, as well as Japanese, Greek and Cyrillic.
