1. Announcing Font Wrangler 7
_______________________________________________________________________
Font Wrangler 7 has been released.
We've refined the internal architecture of Font Wrangler to make it
faster, more memory-efficient and better able to take advantage of the
functionality of Windows 7, 8 and 10.
While most of the seriously cool changes embodied in Font Wrangler 7
are "under the hood," users of the latest release will notice that it's
noticeably quicker, especially for functions that call for significant
system resources, such as managing large collections of fonts.
The updated architecture will also allow us to add new features to
Font Wrangler that were impractical or genuinely impossible under
version 6.
- Fixes a sort bug in the application window's list panes.
- Addresses several compatibility issues in the typeface renaming logic.
- Improves the font installation functionality.
- Modifies the registration logic to work around Windows 10's recent
updates, which have been randomly de-registering software when they
sneak silently onto your computer. The sudden appearance of the "this
key is already registered" message should be a distant memory.
- Updates lots of user-interface issues throughout the application.
- Font Wrangler 7 uses an altered installation structure that's way
more resistant to being broken by malfunctioning and overly-paranoid
third-party security software. We're reasonably certain that the
"Can't create specified file" error is history.
- Updates UpToDate.
- Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
- Updates the documentation.
You can download Font Wrangler 7 from:

and then uninstall GIF Construction Set 6 and PNG MNG Construction Set 6.
If you have a number of animation plugins installed on your system,
you'll probably find them quicker to uninstall through the Windows
