Linotype and Monotype Imaging Release FontExplorer X Client and Server Solutions
Jan 08, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX News Network) -- Linotype and its parent company, Monotype Imaging Holdings, a provider of text imaging solutions, have collaborated to unveil the FontExplorer X Pro and FontExplorer X Server font management solutions.
FontExplorer X Pro debuts for Macintosh platforms and includes features geared for creative professionals. Capabilities extend to networked environments when FontExplorer X Pro is coupled with FontExplorer X Server, which provides workgroup administrators centralized control over font management and access rights. The Server edition also includes access to more than 4,000 OpenType fonts from the Linotype, Monotype and ITC libraries.
"Customer feedback has been exceptionally positive surrounding the user friendliness, feature set and quick performance of Linotype's original FontExplorer X," said Frank Wildenberg, managing director of Linotype GmbH. "These qualities, including the intuitive user interface of FontExplorer X, have been enhanced and carried forward into the Pro and Server editions. While the Pro version targets the discerning demands of creative professionals, the Server edition allows network administrators to oversee a worry-free, font managed environment, while also enjoying use of a vast collection of Linotype, Monotype and ITC fonts."
John Seguin, executive VP of Monotype Imaging, said, "The complete package represents an industry first - customers can now rely on an integrated solution that combines font management with font acquisition capabilities across the organization. It's fitting that such a comprehensive product would come from a team of professionals whose business revolves around fonts. With more than 200 years of combined typographic experience, Linotype and Monotype Imaging can clearly stand behind FontExplorer X as font experts."
