New Font Management Power for Windows Platforms
FontAgent Pro for Windows brings a host of new power to the platform with features available to Windows users for the first time. “The FontAgent Pro family of products routinely wins font-management shootouts in Macintosh customer accounts,” commented Bruce Mitchell, CEO of Insider Software. “The market for Windows design tools and fonts has grown steadily over the last five years, and we are thrilled to provide the cross-platform solution that our customers have been craving. Insider once again leads the way in providing the power of world-class professional font management.”
