The Fontz X ReviewQuestion about developer's claim - Version: 4.3.3, 2/7/2008 12:00AM PST

david_orr1
On its website, the developer has placed a Universal Binary/Mac logo pair on The Fontz page. Obviously, The Fontz is NOT a UB product -- it was released a month or so before the first Intel machines were available. And nowhere on that Fontz page does it state that the software must run in Rosetta on Intel machines.

While I have been generally pleased with all other aspects of the product's performance, I am peeved by what appears to be at least a careless and misleading use of the UB logo. I would like to warn those who are considering purchasing this software to be aware of this significant discrepancy between what's being marketed and what you're actually buying.

That said, I hope the developers will update The Fontz to run native on Intel machines.

The Fontz X CommentaryBut can it print? - Version: 4.3.3, 7/5/2006 12:21PM PST

I just downloaded version 4.3.3 - have not registered it yet. I am looking for an app that allows you to preview AND print uninstalled fonts so that I can create a hard copy catalog of our fonts. Can this app print preview pages? I guess the print option is unavailable because I have not registered it yet. Thanks for any feedback!
