Features of FontExplorer X
 
Powerful font handling
Organize your fonts just like your media files – using a library, folders, tags and even smart sets. You want direct access to all typefaces from a certain foundry? All italics? Or all fonts tagged with a certain keyword? FontExplorer™ X makes this easy!
All fonts and formats are recognized automatically and can be managed in a comfortable way. You decide whether FontExplorer X should take control over the folder structure, or if you want to leave it untouched – we built this software to be as unobtrusive as possible.
 
Built-in Online Store
Ever wanted to browse through fonts you want in the same way as the fonts you already have? Try Linotype’s FontExplorer X and its integrated shopping solution. Whenever you are looking for a particular font, you will find it here. And the best part: you can try it and play around with it before you buy it.
Examine and compare fonts inside FontExplorer X’s online store as if they were installed on your system. If you found your favourite, add it to your shopping cart and purchase it with only a few clicks. This is a whole new font licensing experience.
 
Auto-Activation
Finally an auto-activation function that really works! FontExplorer™ X lets you decide which applications may request fonts, and which may not. And of course there are plugins for popular DTP apps like Adobe® InDesign®, Adobe Illustrator® and Quark® XPress®.
 
Detailed font information
FontExplorer X shows virtually every bit of information a font file can contain. You can examine the complete character set, inform yourself about the legal stuff or just see a few sample paragraphs to know what a font looks like in real-life context.
