Linotype GmbH has released a comprehensive update to FontExplorer X Pro – the iTunes-esque font management utility.

In addition to improved Mac OS X 10.7 Lion compatibility, Version 3.1 adds a host of new features, updates plug-ins, and resolves a number of prior issues, including:

  • Font information for all fonts in a set or folder can now be set by selecting the set or folder in the source list and opening the Font Information dialog.
  • Ratings, labels and/or comments can be applied to all fonts in a set or folder.
  • “Check for Updates” now has added options for skipping a version and reminders at a later timepoint.
  • Added PlugIns for Adobe CS5.5 suite (Illustrator CS 5.1, InDesign CS5.5, Photoshop CS5.1)
  • Preview Toolbar: Rare ligatures are now shown together with common ligatures.

The update is free for owners of FontExplorer Pro 3.0. Owners of previous versions can upgrade for $29.00. New versions can be purchased for $79.00. A free 30-day trial available.
