A Message from the Developer:

First I want to thank you VERY much for 
your patience in waiting for this all-new 
edition of FontSpec Pro.

My goal during development was to try 
and satisfy the many requests I had 
received from current users on 
improving the product.

Of course, I was fighting time every step 
of the way. There are many more 
improvements yet to be made and I 
want you to know I am committed to 
producing the finest font manager 
available.

Making a product which supports 
Windows'95, Windows/NT, Windows for 
Workgroups, and Windows 3.x was no 
small matter. Especially since fonts are 
handled differently for each platform.

If you are reading this message then it 
means you either upgraded from a 
previous version or you purchased 
FontSpec between June 10th and 
September 10th (so your upgrade was 
free).

Those of you who paid for the upgrade 
were supposed to receive 50 free fonts. 
But, as the project came closer to being 
completed, it became clear that there 
just wasn't enough space to include that 
many fonts... regardless of my good 
intentions.

I have included as many free fonts as 
possible and want to apologize for not 
being able to include all 50. The new 
version of the software is much larger 
than I had anticipated.

Some things you should be aware of if 
you are using Windows/NT: Although 
FontSpec supports Postscript fonts, 
Windows/NT does not (yet). Also, NT 
has a flaw in handling sorted listboxes, 
so some fonts many not be sorted 
properly. These are Windows/NT 
problems, not FontSpec Pro.

Finally, the speed of the program needs 
to be improved but, since many of you 
called and asked about the upgrade, 
I am releasing it now so you can start 
using it. Please check with the on-line 
services for a free upgrade which will 
be posted within the next 60 days 
(the filename will be "FSP71.ZIP").

Again, thank you for your patience and I 
hope you enjoy using FontSpec Pro.
