FontAgent® Pro Adds 64-Bit Auto-Activation Support
for Maximum Performance in Adobe CS5 Applications

August 10, 2010 [Los Gatos, Calif] – Insider Software today announced the immediate availability of FontAgent Pro 4.140 for Macintosh. With this release, FontAgent Pro provides 64 bit support for Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop CS5. The result of Insider Software’s implementation of 64-bit architecture support is a dramatic increase in performance and auto-activation speed. This release further enhances Insider’s industry-leading, precision font selection and auto-activation.

Industry-Leading Auto-Activation Speed Now Even Faster

The new release of FontAgent Pro includes an all-new, 64-bit framework and improved plug-ins for Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop CS5 for Leopard and Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6).

Unique Technology that Ensures Correct Activation

The latest release provides fast and accurate auto-activation for Adobe Creative Suite 5 using Insider’ s unique FontSavant™ technology that ensures that auto-activation always selects the right fonts in your documents—not just a close match or a font that has the same name.

Auto-Activation Done Right

Only FontAgent Pro gives you full control over the font auto-activation process. Insider’s FontSavant technology detects even the most subtle differences among fonts to deliver the most accurate font activation possible. When no installed fonts match one required by a document, MagicMatch™ provides a list of alternate fonts in a designer’s collection—with a relevancy ranking that shows how closely they match the requested font—so designers can choose the best font for the design task. Users can also automatically activate a preferred version of a font if an incorrect font was used in creating a document.

Universal Binary Support on All Hardware

All FontAgent Pro auto-activation plug-ins offer universal binary support for optimal performance on Intel machines as well as PowerPC hardware.

Availability and Pricing

Release 4.140 of FontAgent Pro is free to users who have already licensed FontAgent Pro 4 and includes free CS5 plug-ins. The product retails for $99.95 for new purchasers and is $49.95 for registered users of FontAgent Pro 3 and earlier. Cross-grades from qualifying competitive products are also available.
