A software package called Typetrax links Canto Cumulus with Insider Software’s FontAgent Pro for users of Adobe’s InDesign and Illustrator. Typetrax enables Cumulus-based creative groups to see and manage the fonts used in their InDesign and Illustrator documents, right from within Cumulus.
When documents are cataloged into Cumulus, TypeTrax detects the fonts used, creates catalogue records for each, and links those records to the layout or document, ensuring the important font information needed for production is always available. Visual font representations enable users to see the fonts a document uses, and also see which documents use a given font.
When used in conjunction with the asset cross referencing built into Cumulus, even users who don’t use the Adobe Creative Suite can now pre-flight documents by seeing all fonts, illustrations, images and other linked documents they include. Features built into TypeTrax increase the reliability and ease of pre-flighting further.
