Veenixs Visual Font Management System Adds Many New Features



Veenix Software, the developer of "Veenix Font Tools" and "Veenix Design & Type Tools" for Macintosh, announced today the addition of several new features to its highly acclaimed Visual Font Management System, a robust and innovative, yet easy-to-use WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) font organizing, activating, viewing and printing system for both installed and uninstalled fonts. The Visual Font Management System is included in the company's font related products, "Veenix Font Tools" and "Veenix Design & Type Tools", and the new features outlined below apply to both software titles.

New Features of the Visual Font Management System:

New color coded font-type icons in the Font List allow the user to quickly identify whether a font is TrueType, PostScript, a DFont, or an OpenType font.

Font path information of the physical font file is now displayed in the "Display Area" of the Font List window. Users can "toggle" between showing the path information for a selected font and the general info for the font.

New font categorizing pop-up menus in the Font List window allow users to quickly categorize fonts directly from the Font List window. Users simply click on a font in the list and then select appropriate categories from the pop-ups. "This is absolutely one of the fastest ways to categorize your fonts," says Veenix president Deb Lake. "We identified and categorized over 600 image fonts from a list of approximately 5000 fonts in about 20 minutes. I don't think it gets much faster or easier than that."

A new "Options" menu in the Font List window allows users to perform the following font actions: add/remove fonts to/from the database, activate/deactivate/install fonts, reveal fonts in the Finder, edit font categories, print specimen sheets and more.

Users can also now quickly activate or deactivate any font by clicking on the status indicator icon next to font name in the Font List window.

Veenix's Visual Font Management system is compatible with OS 10.4 (Tiger) and has proven one of the most reliable tools for activating, deactivating and installing fonts on the Mac platform. The innovative font sampling, font comparison and Type Specimen Book printing features of the system have garnered rave reviews from graphics professionals and creative Mac users.

Veenix Font Tools retails for $39.95-US and is suitable for anyone who uses fonts on a Mac. Veenix Design & Type Tools retails for $49.95-US and offers all the features of Veenix Font Tools plus 15 additional design and production tools.
