Resolved Issues

• Server fonts using the "Force Activate" option will correctly retain their activation status when FontExplorer X Pro is restarted in offline mode. Previously these fonts remained deactivated until the user logged in to the server

• Adobe InDesign and Illustrator Users: PostScript Type 1 fonts activated from the FontExplorer X Server will correctly show kerning in Adobe InDesign CS5+ and Illustrator CS5+ applications. Previously this only worked with CS4 or earlier versions of the Adobe applications or when using locally activated PostScript fonts

• Adobe InDesign Users: Added a FontExplorer X Pro preference key which will control whether server fonts are visible or invisible when running the InDesign packaging function. To make server fonts visible for the packaging process, quit FontExplorer X Pro and Adobe InDesign. On the client workstation, enter the following command in the Terminal application followed by the Enter key:

defaults write com.linotype.FontExplorerX disableIndesignPackageFixScript -bool FALSE

To make server fonts invisible again for the packager enter the following command in the Terminal application followed by the Enter key:

defaults write com.linotype.FontExplorerX disableIndesignPackageFixScript -bool TRUE

If no action is taken, the server fonts will continue to be packaged invisibly

Known Issues

• Mac OS X 10.6 only: Fonts with # in their filename will not appear in FontExplorer X when they are located in /Library/Fonts. When imported into FontExplorer X Pro or FontExplorer X Server they cannot be activated nor will they display a preview. Resolved with OS X 10.7.x

• After fast user switching FontExplorer X Pro refreshes the fonts in order to ensure that any System Font changes made by other users are available to all users on that machine. When doing this, the FontExplorer X Pro main window will always come to the foreground

• Mac OS X 10.5.x only (Resolved with Mac OS X 10.6): Removing font suitcases from a System Collection may cause FontExplorer X Pro to crash if some of the fonts in the suitcase are not activated. This may also occur when resolving conflicts and the font suitcase is contained in a System Collection

• Using Mac OS X 10.5.8 – Move the fonts you wish to keep to a new System Collection, then delete the System Collection containing the suitcase font

Known PlugIn Issues

• Photoshop plugin Version 3.5.1: The font request dialog will erroneously open when a Photoshop file is selected in the Open dialog. Workaround: open files via double-click or by dragging them to the Photoshop application icon
