Product Description:

PopChar is a utility application that lets you insert special characters, accented and foreign letters, etc., into your documents. No need to search for and remember keyboard combinations. Just pop up the PopChar window, click the desired character, and the character appears in your current document.

If a font contains Unicode characters, you can see all of them, neatly arranged in the standard Unicode categories.

You can use the character table of PopChar X like a menu or make it "sticky" to insert multiple characters in a row. PopChar X also allows you to select the font and size of the characters to be inserted.
  • simple to use: click and select
  • displays the keystrokes needed to create selected characters
  • selectable font
  • remembers and hilites the most recently selected characters
  • Unicode support
  • inserts HTML symbols
  • automatically detects the current font in many popular applications (including Word, Excel, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, InDesign, FileMaker and BBEdit)
  • manual font selection (in applications where PopChar X cannot determine the current font
  • exclude common characters (letters, digits and accents)
  • "styled" and "unstyled" character insertion
  • resizeable window (up to the full screen)
  • "sticky mode" lets you insert multiple characters with a series of clicks
  • automatically starts at login
  • also works with Classic applications

If you purchased your license within the last two years, the upgrade is free for you, and your current license key will work for the new version. If your 2 years update period has expired, you can purchase a 2 years update renewal. Whereas other software vendors offer upgrades at a reduced price for just a single new version, our licenses cover ALL subsequent releases of PopChar X and PopChar Pro within two years, starting with the date of purchase.

What's new in this version:

  • Context menu supports copying selected characters to the clipboard in various formats.
  • PopChar now supports searching for characters by their decimal and hexadecimal Unicode numbers.
  • Entering or pasting arbitrary text in the search field displays the characters used within the text.
  • Support for Unicode 5.0.
  • Automatic checking for new versions.
  • Fixes a problem where typing or pasting a license key sometimes did not work.
  • The "As in Document" option could cause Excel 2004 to hang on Leopard.
  • Font detection sometimes caused excessive delays in certain applications.
  • Fixes a problem where certain characters beyond the first Unicode plane were displayed and inserted incorrectly.
  • Works around a bug in InDesign that causes InDesign CS3 to crash after copying guides to the clipboard while PopChar is running.
  • Fixes a problem with font detection in Adobe Illustrator CS3.
  • See the version history for details.
