Changes in version 2.5
New Features
Reworked interface – The interface of FontExplorer X Pro has been streamlined and now better suits the changed functionality. The Library has a new structure to enable administrators to hide certain areas from users view in a FontExplorer X Server environment.
Wide Screen Mode – FontExplorer X Pro now features an optional Wide-Screen mode that sets the preview area to the right. Now users of wide-screen displays can make full use of the whole view area of their display by simply clicking the wide-screen icon.
Transparency Mode – The preview area of the main window and the detailed preview of the Info window can now be switched to transparency mode and can be set to different levels. Using this functionality to lay the Font-Explorer X Pro window over an existing document, users can get a first idea of how certain fonts will look when used in this document.
Classification – The new classification feature allows users to “tag” their fonts by freely configurable criteria. Additionally it can be used to automatically set classification by receiving this data from the Linotype Server. The automatic classification is available for all fonts that have such an entry in the Linotype database.
Print – FontExplorer X Pro now has a printing feature and as you would expect, it is the most versatile on the market. Users can easily create their own templates to print an overview of their fonts or use one of the templates that come preinstalled. Configuration is accomplished through drag and drop of page elements, more detailed settings are available for every option. The preview shows a WYSIWYG view that automatically updates when you change the elements.

Resolved

Mac OS X 10.6: Fonts activated in FontExplorer X Pro would not appear in the Apple font panel if the application was already started when font activation occurred.
Mac OS X 10.6: Fonts deactivated in FontExplorer X Pro would still appear in the Apple font panel if the application was running when the font was deactivated.
When FontExplorer X Pro was specified as a startup item, the main window would be hidden after starting.
When scanning large InDesign CS3 or CS4 documents for fonts, FontExplorer X Pro would occasionally crash.
Server fonts would become disabled and could not be re-enabled after fast user switching or use of the "refresh fonts" function.
The plug-in dialog will now show the names of all sets containing the font detected for activation.
Adobe InDesign CS3 & InDesign CS4: InDesign no longer crashes when an Active Directory user attempts to open a document.

Various unrelated crashes.

Improvements
It is now possible to apply a rating to an entire family (group font family or style linked fonts) by assigning the rating to the family name.

Known issues
Mac OS X 10.6 – Postscript Type 1 fonts residing in a suitcase which contains more than 10 font styles may not activate in FontExplorer X Pro and their preview will show "Not Available"
When attempting to overwrite FontExplorer X Pro with a newer version, a "Fatal Error … unauthorized bundle" message may appear when there is a problem with permissions on the file you are attempting to replace. Should this occur, delete the older version of FontExplorer X and re-copy the newer version to your Applications folder.
Plug-ins will not activate fonts required by graphic objects (EPS) contained in a document. You may either manually activate these fonts prior to opening the document or embed the required fonts in graphic objects.
Mac OS X 10.5.x only (Resolved with OS 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 10.5.6: Activate or deactivate the entire suitcase and then remove the suitcase from the collection.
Using Mac OS X 10.5.7: Move the fonts you wish to keep to a new System Collection, then delete the System Collection containing the suitcase font.
