FONT EXPLORER X PRO
On the Windows side, FontExplorer X Pro 2.3 includes the InCopy, InDesign, llustrator, and Photoshop plug-ins, plus user interface enhancements.
FONT EXPLORER X UPDATE
The update also includes support for a full-screen mode and introduces a plug-in for Adobe InCopy CS5.5, and new Mac plug-ins for Adobe InDesign, llustrator, and Photoshop.
FONT EXPLORER X MAC OS X
The new versions are FontExplorer X Pro 3.1 for Macintosh, 2.3 for Windows and FontExplorer X Server 1.6.įontExplorer X Pro 3.1 can now run in Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion). Thankfully, I have backups of all my fonts on an external drive that FEX never touched so if I can delete all the fonts so I can start fresh, I can do so.Monotype Imaging has updated its font manager for the desktop and servers. I can't uninstall them because Windows won't let me delete them. I can't reinstall those fonts because Windows tells me to uninstall them first. Some fonts that used to work before installing FEX aren't recognized by programs.
FONT EXPLORER X INSTALL
I did some research and found that another person had to do a repair install of Windows to fix things so I did that too thinking that it would help reset things. (Clicking "OK" repeatedly for existing fonts gets really tedious!) I noticed that only about 1400 fonts were now in the fonts folder so I spent the next hour and a half reinstalling all the remaining fonts from my backups. That took care of the shortcut icons but I still got the error message saying the file could not be deleted. It found a bunch so I fixed them and rebooted. I decided to run CCleaner to fix any registry problems that FEX might have caused. Some regular fonts that used to work in some of design files like Adobe InDesign aren't recognized anymore either, even though I see them in the fonts folder. I got an error message saying "Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk." I tried deleting them all so I could start fresh by installing them via my backups but none of them could be deleted. However, now all the font files in my fonts directory had the shortcut icon on them and they were all pointing to the now nonexistent C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Font Explorer X directory. Luckily, I make regular backups of all my fonts so I found the files for Tahoma and reinstalled them which returned the text to normal. I rebooted and a different really narrow font was being used throughout my system instead of the usual Tahoma. After I did so, text throughout my operating system started disappearing and all my menus were blank. During the deactivation process, I saw that it was copying a bunch of fonts in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Font Explorer X but I figured I could delete that directory because I uninstalled the program. Uninstalling went fine and I did my usual cleanup of lingering files in C:\Documents and Settings that most programs leave behind. So I decided to uninstall FEX because it wasn't worth the trouble. After my computer rebooted, I launched FEX and it gave me some error written in a foreign language and wouldn't let me continue. (I'm still not sure what that means.)ĭuring this process, the power flickered just enough to cause my computer to reboot (great timing!). I installed it and during its first run, it wanted to catalog my fonts which required "deactivating" them for some reason. I'm a design and I have about 2200 fonts and I recently downloaded FontExplorer X for Windows (FEX) because I heard it was a great way to browse your fonts. This time, I've got a comedy of errors that leads up to the problem. I would be very grateful if someone could help me out. I've got another peculiar problem for the geniuses here at Tech Support Guy.
