TypeStyler III There is so much to TypeStyler that it would be easy to fall into the review trap of simply listing its myriad features and specifications. TypeStyler III is a text and graphics manipulation program that should appeal across the board to all of these markets.
This version of TypeStyler for Mac OS X (TypeStyler 10.6.75) is being made available for users with PowerPC Macs running versions of Mac OS X 10.4.11 through 10.5.8 and for Intel Macs running Mac OS X 10.4.11 through 10.7.

The textual graphics creator also introduces all the features of Strider’s PosterMaker product, according to David Stillman of Strider Software. Strider says it takes advantage of OS X technologies such as Unicode, Core Image, OpenGL, QuickTime, and Quartz. The new program is more than just a port of version 3. That changed this week when Strider Software announced that. And while version 3 of the program continued to work under OS X’s Classic environment, a long-promised fully native version never materialized. The desktop publishing application, which let users customize and create special effects with any PostScript or TrueType font, had been a favorite of Mac users in the days before OS X.
After seven years of development, Strider Software says it’s shipping an OS X version of TypeStyler.
