Monotype Imaging, a provider of text imaging offerings, and its subsidiary, Linotype, have launched new versions of their FontExplorer X font management software.

The company said that its newly revised FontExplorer X Pro plug-ins for Adobe CS5 for client computers contains plug-ins that automatically activate fonts when used with Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator applications from Adobe’s Creative Suite 5 Master Collection software. It also contains improvements related to the server menu and offline use.

New FontExplorer X Server 1.5.2 brings the same facilities and characteristics of its Mac version to workgroup administrations operating in Windows environments. It allows Windows administrators to create master-slave configurations to optimise performance. Workgroup administration for both Mac and Windows environments is handled through FontExplorer X Pro for the Mac.

Monotype Imaging said FontExplorer X Pro 2.5.1 for Macintosh systems and FontExplorer X Server 1.5.2 for Mac and Windows platforms are available immediately from www.fontexplorerx.com.
