if you simply want to feel more
knowledgeable while choosing
your fonts, version 7 is a
relatively affordable ticket into
the wonderland of discovering
and pairing your fonts. ■FontExplorer’s Plug-in Manager lets
you install or remove its plug-ins for
many versions of some Adobe apps
and QuarkXPress.
