Linotype FontExplorer X 1.2.1

FontExplorer X sets a new standard for font management software. After several relatively sad years for all font users who were looking for a professional font manager, Linotype is pleased to fill the gap with the new FontExplorer X.
Font management has never been so simple, and font sorting, font shopping and font discovery are now more fun than ever. FontExplorer X will give computer users all the font functions they could need, and will allow them to decide how deeply they wish to dive into various font themes.
