One of its most impressive features is its immediate system-wide font synchronization, eliminating the need to refresh font lists or restart the computer after installing fonts. Additionally, MainType includes a font information pane that shows important typographic data, and a groups pane that allows users to easily organize their fonts. The software also supports drag and drop functionality and lets users insert characters into background applications.
MainType works with TrueType, OpenType, TrueType Collections, and Postscript Type 1 fonts. The software lets you preview fonts before installation, and it represents all characters grouped by Unicode blocks, supporting all seventeen planes defined in the Unicode character database. Additionally, MainType lets users generate HTML-based overviews of their fonts, print reports, and export font information to clipboard and text.
