Chris Paveglio has released a new version of InDesign Font Catalog. The new version is a major update to the application. ID Font Catalog creates a catalog of every font a user has, using Adobe InDesign. It is unique from other font catalog applications because it groups fonts by their family, and only shows each font “style” in a short list.
Graphic designers and artists with a large list of fonts appreciate seeing a list of fonts in a compact style. In version 2, the primary addition is the user definable “Font Skip List” where a user can omit certain fonts from the catalog, for example foreign fonts (Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic) can be skipped even though OS X installs some of these fonts by default.
Other additions include 3 new document styles, for professional looking and functional type samples; the option to choose any InDesign document preset for making a catalog (Single Paragraph style only); and a completely rewritten core for better performance and reliability.
Feature Highlights:
* Completely rewritten for better performance and reliability
* User-definable Font Skip List
* Can use an ID document preset for “Single Paragraph” style
* 3 New document styles
Minimum Requirements:
* Adobe InDesign CS3 or CS4
* Mac OS X Version 10.4 Tiger or higher
* Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel
* G4/G5/Intel Processor
* 20 MB Hard Drive space
Pricing and Availability:
ID Font Catalog is $15 (USD) and available immediately from Chris Paveglio’s Web site.
