Product Description:

Silk enables the Quartz text rendering and smoothing introduced in Mac OS X 10.1.5 in all Carbon applications. This means antialiased text in Internet Explorer, Eudora, and many others. Why wait for developers to update their Carbon applications when you can get the silky smooth text everywhere, right now? With version 2.0, Silk can substitute one font with another in your applications, and change the theme font (the font used to display menus, window titles, and other interface elements).

What's new in this version:

  • Addressed a problem that would cause applications to crash if there was a new moon out, Jupiter was in alignment with Mars, and you happened to be running Macromedia Dreamweaver 8.
  • Includes Smart Crash Reports.
  • Removed a spurious message that appeared in the console log if the fallback font did not have a font family.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9
  • Mac OS X 10.3

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.3 or higher

<b>Unsanity has chosen to jump ship, and leave their loyal customer base screwed. DO NOT waste your money donating or buying a license as all you will be doing is throwing your money away. I deleted all my Unsanity haxies. Never again with Unsanity.</b>
