Linotype FontExplorer X

“After several relatively sad years for all font users who were looking for a professional font manager, Linotype is pleased to fill the gap with the new FontExplorer X. Font management has never been so simple, and font sorting, font shopping and font discovery are now more fun than ever. FontExplorer X gives computer users all the font functions they could need, and lets them decide how deeply they wish to dive into various font themes.”

Doug Gilford’s Mad Cover Site

“A reference site for collectors and fans of Mad Magazine… I am sharing my images so collectors will have an easier time identifying which issues they need to complete their collections. A side benefit for collectors who already have the issues is that viewing covers in this manner helps to preserve their precious originals.”
