Last but not least, having been around in the industry for a long time, I (and everyone else) have experienced how bad it ist to have to rely on the 'big players' and their business decisions. And I've tried most of them or supported them on colleague's machines or my second ones. And while I know about one or the other shortcoming in my relationship with the program over the years (on both sides) I can tell you that no other tool comes close to it. Getting prepared for that situation without MainType would have cost me so much more time and grievances. (Just look at all the blunders Adobe, Apple and Microsoft have produced.) In January support for PS1 Fonts will end. Fonts seem to be so simple when everything works, but once you take a closer look the topic is extremely complex.

Unlike simple font preview applications, MainType is designed for graphic artists, typographers, and other power users who demand high-end functionality such as network support, plug-ins, advanced categorizing, searching capabilities, and fast searches for the fonts that you need.JoyousUtnapishtim's Experience I've been using MainType Professional for many years now, and I must admit that every now and then I was wondering if it is worth it, it's price - after all when everything works, you (or at least I) don't have to use it too often. MainType supports all common font formats: TrueType, OpenType, TrueType Collections, and Postscript Type 1 fonts. MainType makes it simple to find, preview, organize, install, and print your fonts. It is packed with tons of intuitive features that makes it simple to find, preview, organize, install, and print your fonts. MainType is a powerful but easy to use font manager and font viewer for Windows, that takes the frustration out of managing your fonts.
