FontSync Software

FontSync 1.0 is designed to run on Mac OS 9.0 or later. It is part of the Carbon Library, but is not supported in the first release of Mac OS X. The software suite includes the FontSync Shared Library, which implelements the API, a faceless background application that implements scripting support, and the FontSync control panel. All but the control panel are bundled in the FontSync Extension file. In addition, two illustrative sample AppleScripts are included: one that creates a font profile and one that compares a profile either to another profile or the the active fonts.

You should call the function FNSEnabled to determine whether FontSync is enabled before calling any other FontSync functions. Note that in FontSync 1.0, FNSEnabled has no effect on the operation of the rest of the API. Call the function FNSSysInfoGet to determine the version and features of FontSync installed on the current system.
