You Control: Fonts Gets Updated

You Software is a software company that may sound familiar to most of you...or not, that's not really important, because sometimes the most important is the product, and not the company behind it. I don't think this is true in the Mac world, but I've seen a lot of people using Windows that are not able to tell "who" or "what" is "Microsoft", and this is only one example. Well, maybe you have heard about You Control: Suite.

This application suite includes four products - You Control, You Control: Desktops and You Control: Fonts, this being the last one of them without native support for the Intel-based Macs. I'll leave the other two aside and concentrate on Fonts 1.2. So...what's new?

Apart from now being able to run natively on both Intel and PowerPC-based Macs, You Control: Fonts 1.2 improves the compatibility with the last releases of many notorious design, layout and productivity programs, including QuarkXPress 7, CS2 versions of Illustrator and InDesign, Apple iWork '06 suite or Microsoft Office 2004. If you want to check the entire list, you can find it at You Software's official website, of course.

The font control utility we're talking about here enables users to see all the fonts currently active on their Mac in their own typeface, but it can also help you create a custom font menu to ease the finding of fonts and font groups. Even better, you can assign hot keys to your favorite fonts and, of course, access your font collections from Mac OS X's Font Book.

You Control: Fonts 1.2 is a free update for the registered users, but the newbies will have to pay 19.95$ for it, or get the entire suite for 69.95$, 10$ less than what You Control, Desktops and Fonts are worth together.
