Product Description:

FontCard modifies the Font menu and the font panel in Carbon and Cocoa applications. It can add an icon that displays the format of a font next to the font menu item or font panel list, display the font name in the font face, group fonts into submenus, and add third party font collections to the font menu and font panel.
Note: This version supports both Cocoa and Carbon applications.

FontCard has been tested with InDesign (2.0.2, CS, and CS2), Bare Bones' BBEdit (7.0.3 and 8.0), TextEdit, Tex-Edit Plus, Word (2004 and v.X), PowerPoint 2004, Quark XPress (6.0-7.0), Apple's Console, iChat, AOL Instant Messanger, FreeHand MX 2004, Fireworks 8, Illustrator (10.0, CS, and CS2), Photoshop (CS, CS2, and Elements 3.0), Xcode, Eudora, Entourage (v.X and 2004), Adobe Acrobat Pro 6 and 7, Pages, Mellel, Creature House Expressions 3, and SimpleText.



If there is a problem with an application (whether or not it is on the above list) that is not listed in the Known Issues section of the Read Me, then please contact us immediately so we can get it to work.

What's new in this version:

  • Added support for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard v10.5 and later.
  • No longer loads Objective-C dynamically.
  • Updated to SQLite 3.5.4.
  • Now attempts to open third party font sets in read-only mode (possible thanks to SQLite 3.5.0). FontCard never intended to write to third party font sets, only read them.
  • Now sorts third party font sets in the font panel (10.5 only).
  • FontExplorer stores its database in a different location if your user home folder path does not begin with "/Users/". FontCard now loads FEX sets in these situations.
  • Installs a busy handler for FontExplorer sets. This should fix a race condition leading to an error if the FontExplorer application is in the user's login items.

FontCard 1.5.1b1 has not been "certified" for use with Adobe CS3 products (it should work, the worst that will happen is that it won't work). Furthermore, it does not work with Microsoft Office 2008 (the worst that could happen is explosive projectile vomiting). We have not yet acquired these products, therefore we have not tested them with FontCard. FontCard 1.5.x currently has a lot of code for Word v.X and Word 2004 to work around various "quirks" in Microsoft Office. I would not expect FontCard 1.5.1b1 to work with Microsoft Office 2008.

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.

For those who believe that Unsanity does not respond to inquiries, I suggest that you read the announcement in the yellow box at the top of their blog page that has existed for months now:

I own FontCard, FruitMenu, Menu Master, and WindowShade. All of their betas have worked well with Leopard on multiple Mac's.

FontCard CommentaryHuh? Why is this here? - Version: 1.5.1b4, 7/20/2008 08:32PM PST

v.1.5.1b4 has been out for several months, why is it showing up here a an update on July 20, 2008. In fact, FontCard keeps telling me that there is a new version available, but it is always 1.5.1b4, which is what I am already using! I agree with Mac 1984 that maybe Unsanity is gone for good - they haven't updated their website or blog for several months.
