   PopChar X 8.2

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Ergonis Software has issued [1]PopChar X 8.2, bringing full
   compatibility with macOS 10.13 High Sierra and extending the notation
   options for custom layouts. The character discovery utility now enables
   you to add a number of characters using a single smart directive in the
   layout description (such as adding all characters from a named Unicode
   block). The update also adds new metrics adjustments for 33 fonts,
   improves vertical spacing of characters to avoid truncation of
   ornaments, correctly remembers the previously set up custom sample
   text, and works around a problem that caused PopChar to hang when
   trying to find ligatures in certain corrupted fonts. ('¬29.99 new with
   a 25 percent discount for [2]TidBITS members, free update from version
   8.0, 5.0 MB, [3]release notes, 10.6+)
