The single solitary reason I upgraded - so my auto-activation in CC 2018 keeps working. More than most font programs cost outright. Version 8 came about as CC 2018 was released. Version 7 had a great interface, complete with an 'explorer' view that allowed you to shuffle and sort fonts by a variety of methods. Not only is it ridiculous, it's greedy, it's sneaky, it's manipulative, and it's got me scouring for alternatives. and or every time adobe releases a new version. Having a reliable independent player that helps you being al little more independent from all the subscription models ist worth a lot! See MoreĪrin Ringwald's Experience Cash grabbing upgrades makes me cringe at the prospect of having to buy a new license for a new version EVERY. 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. Whenever I had a problem with it (mostly due to my own sloppiness when upgrading to a new computer) my support question was answered closer within minutes than hours. Sure, there is room for improvement - where isn't? - but what is worth so much more than one or the other "coolness" improvement is reliability and service. It might not look as "chiqué " as one or the other (mac) tool, but it works much better once you have got the hang of it. But as soon as you need it, it saves you. 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.
