Linotype has updated its free font management program to version 1.2.3 (build 833). The release fixes bugs and ensures that the ‘Clean System Fonts Folder’ command also works on the System folder in Mac OS X 10.5. The font auto-activation plug-in for QuarkXPress 6 has also been updated. Version 1.2.3 of FontExplorer X is Mac-only: the promised Windows edition, previously in beta, is due for an “imminent release” according to Linotype.

Badia Software has released an upgraded version of its Exportools plug-in that enhances Adobe InDesign CS3’s ability to export multiple sets of text and pictures from page layouts to other formats in one go. The plug-in now exports to SVG, INX (InDesign Interchange) and version CS3 INDD files, as well as PS, EPS, PDF, JPEG and TXT. Exportools 2.0 can also export just the objects you have specifically selected in a layout, and can be set up to open the exported files automatically in their default applications. $99.99, Mac only (Tiger or Leopard).
