Is that $119 US dollars, because a good portion of the Knowbody website is not English. But more important, I find it hard to support a company that can't even supply a single screenshot that shows the Mac version of InDesign being used. I can understand showing both platforms, but only showing the uglier side of desktop publishing is, well, just ugly. There also needs to be some sort of bundling option, which I couldn't find, like alap tools does with its InDesign inTools, which for comparison purposes, gives you six for only $99.

A good portion of the website is not in English since the information
here is not indented for international market.
The area of plugins are all available in 3 languages. And ALL the
movies under the Manual section of Cool Kerning
(look here: http://www.knowbody.dk/productbasement/index.asp?language=2&PBSelProd=I000001&PBSelMenu=Manual
are done on a MacOSX. But you're right. It's often not enough
to state that the plugins are available for all platforms.
People won't believe you unless you show it.
So please look at the manual section mentioned above.
Regarding pricing:
Feel free not to buy the product. The product has already proved
its success in an organization with more than 60 licenses.
The ROI on this plugin has been fast! The customer earned
the cost of the plugins within 2 month!
So the customers that should buy this plugin are those that use
kerning in professional organizations where quality is important.
enVision makes approx 5.500 special kerning’s each week.
Imagine that done manual ;-)
Kind Regards
