Veenix Software announced today the release of version 6 of Font Tools, a set of Mac OS X tools for previewing, cataloging/printing and managing fonts. The new release adds the Document Font Activator and Exporter tool. This tool allows users to scan documents for font usage and then quickly activate all the necessary document fonts as well as export them for project archiving or final output. Supported file types include native Adobe Illustrator, PhotoShop and InDesign files, as well as generic pdf, tif and eps files. Other files types can be scanned using a process known as “scouting” which employs the user’s font database as search criteria when scanning a document.
Veenix Font Tools with Type Book Creator offers a comprehensive set of Macintosh tools for previewing, printing, activating/deactivating, installing and organizing fonts in OS X. Type Book Creator allows users to create customizable type books or catalogs of their entire font collection without the need to activate fonts first. The software also includes a proportion calculator, measurement conversion tool, color tools and screen grab tools. The retail price of Font Tools is $49.95-USD and can be purchased for immediate download directly from Veenix Software. More information and a demo version can also be picked up from the publisher at https://www.veenix.com.
