FA Pro 4.2 Ready for Lion, Adobe CS 5.5 and Quark 9

July 18th, 2011

Insider is proud to announce the release of FontAgent Pro 4.2 for Macintosh. With this free update, we’ve added auto-activation plug-ins for Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 applications including Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop, as well as QuarkXPress 9. And for those of you upgrading to the latest release of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, you need not wait for a font management solution; FontAgent Pro is Lion-ready now.

This latest FontAgent Pro release is available for immediate download here.

Unrivaled Auto-Activation Precision in Adobe CS 5.5 and Quark 9

Built on Insider’s unique FontSavant™ technology, the 4.2 release includes Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 and QuarkXPress 9 plug-ins that ensure FontAgent Pro always selects the right font for your documents—not just a close match or one that has the same name.

The updated plug-ins support both CS 5.5 and the recent Creative Suite 5.5.1 update, and are available for installation using the Install Plug-ins/Xtensions manager in the FontAgent Pro pull-down menu.

FontAgent Pro gives you full control over the auto-activation process. It detects subtle differences among fonts to deliver the most accurate font activation possible. When no installed fonts match one required by a document, it provides a list of alternate fonts in your collection—with a relevancy ranking that shows how closely they match the font your document requested—so you can choose the best font. You can also activate a preferred font format (e.g., Type 1, OpenType, TrueType) automatically.

Availability and Pricing

Release 4.2 of FontAgent Pro is free to users who have already licensed FontAgent Pro 4. The product retails for USD $49.95 for registered users of FontAgent Pro 3 and earlier, and is USD $99.95 for new purchasers. Cross-grades from qualifying competitive products are also available.

FontAgent Pro auto-activation for InDesign CS 5.5.1 available now

June 27th, 2011

Adobe’s latest InDesign 5.5.1 release requires an update to the FontAgent Pro auto-activation plug-in for InDesign.  Not to worry, the updated plug-in is available for immediate download here.  After you download the plug-in, unzip the compressed file, then navigate to the /Applications/Adobe InDesign 5.5/Plug-ins folder, remove the FontAgentPro.InDesignPlugin file and replace it with the updated FontAgentPro.InDesignPlugin that you downloaded.

If you are running InDesign 5.5, you will need to restart the application so it can properly load the plug-in.

How did this happen? The current version of FontAgent Pro 4 (4.160) includes plug-ins for InDesign CS 5.5, but are no longer recognized in CS 5.5.1. According to Adobe, InDesign CS 5.5 incorrectly allowed the earlier version of the plug-ins to be recognized. You can read more about this here.
