   PopChar X 6.0.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Ergonis Software has released [1]PopChar 6.0, a major update to the
   font utility that brings a streamlined user interface. The new Font
   Preview feature displays a few representative characters and a
   selectable sample text in multiple font sizes, while the new Sample
   Text feature displays what the font looks like when applied to typical
   text fragments. Additionally, it gives you the capability to customize
   your own sample text in various sizes, and you can print font sheets
   from both Font Preview and Sample Text. The new release also includes
   support for Unicode 6.1, starts up more quickly with less background
   activity, detects the current font in Adobe Illustrator versions CS3
   through CS6, and adds new keyboard shortcuts for switching the current
   view.

   A few days after its release, PopChar was updated to version 6.0.1.
   with a fix for a text layout problem in Mountain Lion's Print Preview,
   and improved handling of the Start at Login setting in cases where
   PopChar had been renamed. PopChar X 6.0.1 requires Mac OS X Mac OS X
   10.5.8 Leopard or later. Current registered users can upgrade to the
   latest version for '¬15. ('¬29.99 new, 3.2 MB, [2]release notes)
