Adobe Announces OpenType Edition of Font Folio
Monday August 11, 8:12 am ET
New Version Offers the Adobe Type Library in Enhanced Cross-Platform Font Format

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 11, 2003--Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE - News), the leader in network publishing, today introduced a new version of Adobe® Font Folio(TM) featuring the Adobe Type Library in OpenType® format on one CD-ROM. The Adobe Font Folio (OpenType Edition) product contains more than 2,000 fonts in OpenType format, which allows for richer linguistic support and more advanced typographic control in any print, Web or dynamic media project. Adobe also announced the availability of a new special version with a 10-computer license, making it more affordable for small design shops to access the entire Adobe Type Library.

Adobe and Microsoft Corporation created the OpenType font format to improve cross-platform document portability and simplify font management, by introducing one font file that works on both the Macintosh and Windows platforms. Creative professionals benefit from extended foreign language support and the inclusion of expert typographic glyphs, such as small caps, old style figures and swashes, in many OpenType fonts.

"The OpenType font format is much more convenient than the old Type 1 or TrueType fonts," said David Blatner, co-author of Real World InDesign, InDesign for QuarkXPress Users and Real World Photoshop. "With Adobe's new Font Folio in OpenType format, I love having large character sets in the same font instead of having to work with a whole array of related font files."

Pricing and Availability

The Adobe Font Folio [OpenType Edition] product is available immediately and will be sold primarily through the Adobe store at www.adobe.com, Adobe retail and licensing channels, and includes a standard 20-computer license for US$8,999. License extensions are also available and Font Folio is included in Adobe's transactional and contractual licensing programs. Upgrade pricing from Font Folio versions 8 or 9 to Font Folio OpenType Edition is US$2,499. Adobe is also releasing a special 10-computer license of Font Folio OpenType Edition for smaller design workplaces that is available for US$4,999. International English versions are available where localized versions are not sold.

Are you on Mac or on Windows? You posted your other message in the Mac forum....

In any case, it seems the solution is to get the latest updates to QXP 7 (which would be 7.3.1) to fix the Quark bug.

While I can't speak to the functionality of the 2015 edition, but in Photoshop CC 2014 (on a new Mac running Yosemite) each weight and style of all fonts show up separately in the menu, but once one is selected: the sub-family drop-down menu allows one to move around within that font. 

When I saw this post, researching when the latest Font Folio was expected, I thought it funny that one user claims Adobe is the exception to the rule, and another that it is only a windows issue, when on my Mac, Adobe products are the only ones I can think of to show each style and weight separately. 


Before CC came out, in the Creative Suite versions I owned, I used to love how quick it was to scroll through the fonts to see a given text looked, simply by selecting one and tapping the down arrow.  Now it's quicker to use a simple app built for the task, annoying as it is to switch apps because classic function was forgotten or discontinued.  Maybe it's due to the fact that the apps are almost identical across platforms—not that it would excuse losing a feature. 

Returning to the topic of Adobe's Font Folio: this isn't the first thread I've read on the subject.  Most were closed to comments, listed as "solved" because—as Adobe staff snapped at OP:

"Correct Answer"

"What is your point?

Adobe does not announce vaporware. If and when we are ready to release a new version of Font Folio, we will announce the product, but certainly not until then."

...as if Adobe hasn't become famous for its yearly releases of everything else—or perhaps infamous is the better word, due to the premiums designers pay to trying to play catch-up!  Premiums that should come not only with updates and new features, but the ones we've grown to love and depend on. Or perhaps this strikes a nerve because as a disabled user with chronic pain and very limited dexterity, tapping the down key was painless!


Also it should be noted that that this post was last active 2008; Dov's thread closed 2012. The last news of Font Folio was 2011, not for the release of Font Folio 12,  but a small update to 11.

Niko,

Exactly what are you asking for or about other than a Photoshop issue which might better be discussed in a Photoshop forum?

There are no new versions of the Adobe Font Folio product beyond 11.1.  That has not changed in a number of years.
