PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
macility PopChar X 2.0 introduces automatic font detection and localization
Hagenberg, January-17-2003, ergonis software today announced the immediate
availability of PopChar X 2.0, the highly acclaimed tool for "typing"
unusual characters easily without having to remember keyboard combinations.
"Less than a year after the introduction of PopChar X as the Mac OS X
version of PopChar Pro back, we are overwhelmed by the positive feedback we
have received from our customers so far. Due to the technical differences
between Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X, one of key features of PopChar Pro did not
make it into PopChar X until now: the automatic detection of the current
font. I am therefore happy to announce that we found a way to implement
this unique feature also in the OS X version of PopChar, being able to
further improve PopChar's user experience and thus making our customers'
life easier" said Christoph Reichenberger, founder and CEO of ergonis
software. "Furthermore, the new version has been prepared for localization.
Version 2.0 comes in English and German, other languages will follow."
Besides that, the update incorporates several other new features, as well
as fixes for various reported issues. A detailed list of changes included
in this update is available on the company's web site:
