<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Font
Wrangler 9 has been released. We've further refined
its architecture to make it more memory-efficient,
and to better utilize the resources available under
Windows 10. (We hasten to add that it still performs
admirably under earlier builds of Windows, all the
way back to Windows XP, if you're feeling retro.)</font></p>

vspace="10" hspace="10" height="128"
align="right"></font>Adds <b>ZIP archive
support</b>. <br>
<br>
If you like to download fonts from the innumerable
font repositories around the Internet, you'll
probably have noticed that most of them arrive in
ZIP archives. While it's hardly taxing to un-ZIP
one or two of these things, doing so for dozens or
even hundreds of ZIPped fonts can be
time-consuming and potentially a bit confusing, as
the file names used for fonts usually lean toward
being decidedly cryptic.<br>
<br>
Font Wrangler will let you browse, view and
install fonts from within ZIP archives. You won't
have to explicitly extract the TTF or OTF files
therein to your hard drive to access them.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Updates
all the <b>image import and export</b> libraries
to improve their performance.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Updates
the <b>font preview window</b> to maximize its
vertical dimension based on the size of your
desktop. Unless you configure it to use a really
large point size or you preview extremely weird
fonts, you shouldn't have to scroll around to see
the entire font listing.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Updates
the default behavior of the <b>list right-click
menus</b> to operate on the font that has been
clicked on, rather than those that have been
selected. Note that you can revert to the previous
behavior for the right-click menus in Setup,
should you prefer it.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Adds a <b>
tool bar</b> to the Font Wrangler application
window, to make accessing its primary functions
easier and more intuitive.<br>

<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font></p>
<ul>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Adds a <b>
Print Photographs</b> function. Print your
pictures two, four, nine or sixteen to a page in
eye-watering high resolution — with margins and
cut lines to trim them out so they look like
traditional paper photos. Load your color printer
with glossy paper to complete the effect. Sharing
a stack of paper photographs with your friends and
family is <i>way</i> less scary than handing
around an $800-dollar smartphone.<br>

guides, stick the resulting tiles together and
you can create posters of pretty much any size
you like... at least until you run out of
paper and sticky tape.<br>
<br>
</font></font></font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Adds a <b>
Print Cube</b> function. Yes, we did a lot
with printers this time. Select six pictures
and Graphic Workshop will print them such that
they can be cut out and folded into a
three-dimensional photo-cube, complete with
glue tabs. Assembling one of these things
entails about five minutes of arts and crafts,
but they look really cool.<br>

width="113" vspace="10" hspace="10"
height="132" align="right">Adds a <b> Print
Dodecahedron</b> function. Contrary to that
which is believed in some circles, a
dodecahedron is twelve-sided three-dimensional
solid, not an experimental particle
accelerator in Switzerland powered by extinct
flightless birds. Select twelve photographs
and Graphic Workshop will print them out such
that they can be cut and folded into a
twelve-sided desk ornament / yuletide tree
decoration / reduced attention-span cat toy.
In fairness, this one takes a few minutes
longer to assemble than the aforementioned
photo-cube, but it's cooler still.<br>

<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Adds <b>Icon
Editor</b> UltraLight. A simplified version
of the Windows icon editor feature of our
Alpha Paint application, Icon Editor
UltraLight will create and modify icons with
full alpha transparency, and a rich selection
of tools. Enhance your Windows desktop with
your own icons, build favicons for your web
page and generally own the universe... or at
least, its clickable shortcuts.<br>
