TransType Pro ReviewCruddy Crashfest - Version: 3.0.2, 2/27/2006 10:04AM PST

One would think that a company building its reputation on font technology would have more professional pride than to release a program with more crashes per hour than a demolition derby. If they didn't build it in RealBasic, they should have--and it certainly has that look. More importantly, it has the feel, crashing and unexpectedly quitting repeatedly on even moderate batches of PD WinDOZE TT fonts. Even after it flags some in red and won't convert at all until those are deleted from the list, it will often try to open its "Output Panel" window, then think better of it and leave the building like an incontinent beer swiller. Even more ridiculous, it will sometimes convert those same fonts it choked on (after being lured back into existence) when it's given them in smaller batches. Add to that the absurdity of not being able to set general preferences for skipping converted fonts in a directory that have the same name as one already there--requiring constant real-time monitoring of batch processing, even if it weren't for the festival of crashes--and this might represent the worst hundred bucks you ever let go of. Unless you frequent Vegas or red light districts.

I needed a converter for all types of font, not just TT. Based on the prev feedback for this version, I emailed the company and point blank asked them: does it work or not? Fontlab told me that they had addressed all the issues and that the software was working. With the promise of a refund, just in case, I took the risk and tried it.<br>
This app is terrific! It converted all the fonts quickly, and cleanly. I'm very pleased with TransType.

TransType Pro ReviewBeware of version 3 - Version: 3.0, 2/18/2005 03:43AM PST

Careful: do not buy this product. Fontlab is currently unable to deliver working serial numbers so even if you pay you will only have the demo and cannot save clean fonts. This is a pity as a priori version 3 is an improvement on version 2 (which I must say was not great)
