![]() And (as Mark Simonson’s post reminded me) the first several versions included a PageMaker plugin kit designed to ease the transition between the two by providing a more familiar interface. PageMaker, however, continued to be updated into early 2004, so there was over four years of overlap between the two products. ![]() InDesign 1.0 was released in late August of 1999. ![]() I think everyone would admit that InDesign is a superior product but, for those who remember InDesign 1.0, many of its more advanced features were severely hampered by the fact that it still lacked many features found in the more mature PageMaker. As such, we’re moving from a mature product (FLS5) to a product which, while having a great deal of potential, is still very much in its infancy and still has lots of kinks to be resolved.Ī comparable case would be the transition from PageMaker to InDesign. While it may have been released as “FontLab VI”, I tend to think of the new version as “Victoria 1.0” since FontLab VI is really an entirely new program rather than an upgraded version of an existing one. I know I’m not going to change any minds here, but I just wanted to briefly comment on the above. Although we do not plan any updates to FontLab Studio 5 (it having been replaced by FontLab VI over a year ago)

![]() Macrium Reflect has a free version that works great for casual users who want to make a single, full image of their hard drives. See at Acronis (opens in new tab) Download Macrium Reflect For just the cloning and imaging software, you'll spend about $40. There are a few buying options to choose from when it comes to Acronis - there is also a 30-day free trial (opens in new tab) - including subscription options that come with 50GB or 1TB of cloud storage. See at AOMEI (opens in new tab) Acronis True Image Its UI is super simple to use, and you can even set an automatic file sync that will keep your backup up to date. ![]() Like Macrium Reflect, there is a fully-functional, free version of AOMEI that lets you create system images, back up hard drives, and clone drives. ![]() We've been using Macrium Reflect for a while and so far haven't found a reason to switch, but there are also plenty of other imaging options out there, including one built right into Windows 10. |
