Product Description:

FontExplorer X sets a new standard for font management software. After several relatively sad years for all font users who were looking for a professional font manager, Linotype is pleased to fill the gap with the new FontExplorer X. Font management has never been so simple, and font sorting, font shopping and font discovery are now more fun than ever.

v1.2.3 is the final free version. From the website:
"The former free version (9.6 MB)
NOTE: FontExplorer X 1.2.3 does not offer server integration. We no longer provide support for this version."

Free version has poor functionality with 10.6 Snow Leopard. Pro version has been updated to v2.0.3 for 10.6 compatibility.

Linotype FontExplorer X CommentaryNo CS4 version yet? - Version: 1.2.3, 1/5/2009 07:09PM PST

I have been holding off upgrading my designers' computers to Adobe Creative Suite 4 due to no FontExplorer update. However, I would happily pay Linotype for an updated version that works in CS4, if only it was available....
