Today, Insider released TypeTrax™ for Cumulus 8, which takes a unique and significant step forward by bringing fonts into creative project workflow management. TypeTrax unites three industry-leading technologies — Adobe’s InDesign CS4, Canto’s Cumulus 8 and Insider’s FontAgent Pro 4 — into a single, powerful workflow solution. Using TypeTrax, users can be sure that when they open a project, it will image correctly today, next month or two years from now. No other technology solution exists today that can make that claim.

How TypeTrax Works
As designers import InDesign projects into Cumulus, TypeTrax automatically imports all the fonts and files required. Users can preview fonts and their metadata with a few clicks. When users check-in an InDesign project, Cumulus and TypeTrax automatically preflight the job to ensure that all required fonts, images and resource files are included. TypeTrax detects differences between fonts resident in projects and on users’ systems. In addition, users can track all checked-in revisions, so they can easily revert to an earlier version of a project.

What It Takes to Get Started with TypeTrax
TypeTrax for Cumulus 8 is available immediately and includes a copy of FontAgent Pro 4. TypeTrax requires an Apple Macintosh running Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) or later and Adobe InDesign Creative Suite 4, as well as access to a server running Canto Cumulus 8.0 or 8.1.

A TypeTrax server license costs USD $1,995 and includes three user licenses. Additional user licenses cost $195 each. It is available for purchase from Insider and Moksa, as well as from Canto and selected Canto resellers worldwide.
