The future of
FontExplorer X

FontExplorer X by Monotype has provided you with many years of sophisticated font management. But as the product became more difficult to maintain with its age, we’ve decided to prepare FontExplorer X for retirement.

Your software will continue to work as usual, but please be aware it will no longer be updated or supported after June 30th, 2023, and won’t be sold after June 30th, 2022.
