Unlike most other font managers, you don't need administrator rights to install fonts through MainType Easy transfer your font library to another computer (backup and restore)
Fast, user friendly, and extremely easy to use Powerful (several customers use MainType to manage over 400,00 fonts) Stable (unlike most other font managers MainType won't crash if you feed it with corrupt fonts)
When we developed our font manager, we focused on the features and functionality as mentioned here: I've never used other font managers, so I can't compare them with MainType. I guess to cut a long story short: If there was a UFC bout between Maintype and Font Explorer would one be a crippled bloody weeping mess on the mat while the other stood victoriously over having not a scratch and barely breaking a sweat? Kind of thing. Again I haven't done much research (or really any at all) Actually I did a bit of googling and I did run a couple searches on this forum which didn't seem to give me what I was looking for. One thing that might concern me about the Linotype product is I recall it taking a LONG time to release a windows product and it seems like it might be well on the back burner in favour of charging on with the mac variant. Obviously I only want to spend $90 once though.Ĭan anyone give me any points, tips, or highlight what one has over the other? For me it's really only a familiarity to the Linotype product that would be a draw, I mean I understand it because I've used it more than this High-logic product but you know, I'm not scared of change. I haven't done any investigation regarding this I figured I'd just come straight here and ask the question of folk who're likely a lot smarter and clued into both font utilities to give some guidance and point out anything obvious and necessary regarding either product.Įither way the roughly $90 for either product isn't a great deal considering the purpose.

I notice the trial I got from Linotype (Font explorer X pro 2.5) has plugins for all the major adobe product I use, while the Maintype product only had a plugin for indesign included in the trial.

Generally I convert all type to paths anyway but it seems the art I'm supplied no one else knows how to do this so the feature was useful, and on the odd time I'd gotten lazy and forgot. What I did like about the Linotype product was the plugins for Illustrator / Photoshop. To tell the truth I probably barely touched on the features of Font Explorer anyway - Basically I had all my fonts categorized into groups - Sans, Serif, Grunge, Handwriting, Classic etc just so I could maintain some type of order and an easier way to find what I needed when I needed it.
The windows Linotype and High-logic product is fairly well an even match on price so I was curious to know if other Linotype Font Explorer users had switched and picked this Maintype product up? What are the disadvantages/benefits either way? Anything glaringly obvious? Previously I'd used Linotype Font explorer and previous to that was ATM deluxe. I am curious about Maintype though seeing I need a type manager.

There's nothing in it anymore anyway so apart from an initial fluster of frustration at windows 8.1 things seem to be running smoothly. Until recently I had always been a mac user, my 9yr old told me my G5's weren't up to it anymore so I took the plunge into PC's.
