Not enough yet ...

It seems their level of suffering is not high enough yet. But I am sure Microsoft is working on that.

This is a problem with the shop system. We cannot allow this field to be editable, because it would screw up our VAT calculation and deduction if one moved into or out of the EU.

Thank you for your support. We have long given up trying to understand the reasoning of reviewers how they reach their final verdict. But this seems to be a very special case: getting good results in the intermediates and trailing in the verdict. Oh well...

The MegaFont installer works under Windows 7 as well, but you need to run it as administrator. Right-click on the fontman.exe icon and choose "Run as administrator".

There will be a warning message about a registry key that cannot be accessed, but this message is harmless.

No timetable yet. Yes, they will also be at Myfonts.

We have fonts that we haven't yet put in font collections, and Urbano/U... is one of them. We do have Ultimate Serial, a font in the style of Univers. SoftMaker does its font development independently from URW++ and FontSite. The outcome might sometimes be similar, but the relationship is strictly o...

Ah, I see that infiniType 2 went missing. I'll update it when I get around to it. FontSite is simply a licensee of SoftMaker. They only have a subset of our collection. The font names he mentioned are simply made up. Future MegaFonts and infiniTypes will of course contain more fonts than their older...

The stuff written over there is complete baloney. It looks like "Derek" who has been posting made-up stuff about SoftMaker to Topix.com -- see http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Atopix.com+softmaker&oq=site%3Atopix.com+softmaker -- got a new nick and continues with his wild phantasie...

You could also copy the content of both CD-ROMs to one folder of your hard disk (ignore any files and folders with conflicting names -- they have the same content on both CDs) and try to run fontman.exe from the hard disk. Alternatively, the main fonts are in ZIP files in the standard.ttf folder. Us...

If you found Chantilly somewhere on the web for free, it was most likely an illegal copy.

We can grant you such a license for Chantilly. Please contact us at sales (at) softmaker.de.

Styles are pretty high on the list of features to add.

Why do you think you need to find a stopgap office suite? We will provide SoftMaker Office Mobile right until the release of the full version.

Our survey showed that most beta testers use the beta successfully; do you have specific problems that make the software unusable to you?

In case anyone's interested in trying Softmaker on an older/unsupported Android, I've just downloaded the beta of Textmaker to my Samsung Galaxy Portal running Android 2.1. It downloaded and installed okay. It's a bit slow on opening. I was able to open a txt document from my Dropbox, but all I get...

We originally intended to support 1.6, 2.0, and 2.1 but this is beyond hope. These versions of Google Android have so many things to work around that they are virtually impossible to support these days. (Technically, 2.1 should still work with SoftMaker Office Mobile for Android, but it will be quit...

These fonts were created at a time when not all major applications were Unicode-enabled. The next generation of our fonts (no release date yet) will put the expert characters in the correct Unicode slots. You can check out our free font at www.freefont.de for Chandler Pro which already has the new c...
