Business Editors/Technology Writers
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 5, 2007--Adobe Systems Incorporated
(Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced Adobe(R) Font Folio(R) 11 software, the industry's
most comprehensive type solution for print, the Web, digital video and
electronic documents. With more than 2,300 fonts from the Adobe Type Library in
OpenType(R) format Font Folio 11 provides enhanced linguistic support, advanced
typographic features, and true cross-platform compatibility, providing access to
thousands of font options for designers, printers and advertisers in search of
original and classic typefaces.
Natively supported across Mac OS X, Microsoft(R) Windows Vista(R), and Windows
XP and based on the recent revision and update of the Adobe Type Library, Font
Folio 11 includes 176 new fonts from world-renowned foundries and cutting-edge
designers. The package also includes award-winning Adobe Originals typefaces --
one-of-a-kind designs and classic revivals created by expert type designers at
Adobe.
"With Font Folio 11, we have taken our world-class standard library of
OpenType fonts and added exciting new typefaces, including Arno Pro and Garamond
Premier Pro," said Don Walker, senior director, Print and Classic
Publishing Solutions at Adobe. "We've also further refined our
implementation of OpenType, continuing our 25-year tradition of making the
world's highest-quality digital fonts."
Design with Superior Typefaces
Adobe fonts offer reliable quality whether output to inkjet printers, laser
printers, imagesetters, or platesetters. Advertisers can enhance marketing
materials by creating animated GIFs and other typographically rich elements for
Web pages or by adding high-impact title effects to digital video and multimedia
projects.
Font Folio 11 offers special Opticals packages that provide four or more
separate designs for each font, each optimized for a different range of point
sizes, from tiny text for footnotes to large type for headlines. Many of the
OpenType fonts in Adobe Font Folio 11 contain an expanded glyph set and advanced
typographic features, providing designers with the ability to enhance their
compositions with typographic extras such as swashes, small caps, and old-style
figures.
Create with OpenType Flexibility
The OpenType format displays and prints fonts seamlessly on Macs and PCs and can
be used alongside existing font formats in all documents. The OpenType features
of Adobe InDesign(R) CS3 also take advantage of extended features of many of the
fonts in Font Folio 11. In addition, printers can easily publish multilingual
documents with Font Folio 11 Unicode support, including Central and Eastern
European languages, as well as Japanese, Greek, and Cyrillic.
