Macworld Forums: Linotype Explorer no longer being developed? - Macworld Forums

As CS4 has been released but so far LEX hasn't been updated to work which I would have expected.
The last one was february. Its a great app but I need the plug ins to work with cs4.

The unofficial forum has been attacked and is full of spam so useless.

Anyone got any news on this?

If they don't get an update out soon I may have to go back to Fusion.

I've been trying to find that out myself.

You'd think one enterprising MacWorld Editor would find out one way or the other (hint, hint)

Lo and behold, I received an answer this morning ...

Hopefully, it is early in Q1

That's a little late isn't it? I'm gonna get Suitcase anyway and then just see what happens next year.

Yea .. I was surprised by the timeline myself. Don't know why they are so behind the curve on this one. As I recall, Linotype was pretty quick on the CS3 plug-ins.

At least it's good to know they aren't letting it die.

TypeDNA offers a completely new font manager with unique features, including a integrated plugin set for the Adobe CS suite. A demo can be seen at MacWorld 2009 or you can sign-up for Beta testing at www.typedna.com
