Typefitter 4.0.3 release notes

Typefitter is an automated copy-fitting plug-in that seamlessly integrates into Adobe InDesign. Use it to manually tighten or loosen text, or automatically find and fix overset text, short lines, unbalanced columns, and more.

We're pleased to announce that Typefitter 4.0.3 (v4.0.3.513) is now available. Typefitter 4.0.3 now supports the October 2017 release of InDesign CC (v13.x). Typefitter 4.0.3 also has a refreshed user interface with updated icons for high-resolution (HiDPI) or Retina displays, and improvements to the Spanish localization.

Known issues

We are investigating an issue related to AppleScript. If you are experiencing AppleScript-related issues (including with third-party tools like LinkOptimizer), please quit InDesign and remove these two plug-ins from your Adobe InDesign → Plug-ins → Typefi folder:

• TypefitterScriptingAddOnGUI
• TypefitterScriptingAddOnModel

The next release of Typefitter will no longer default to installing these optional plug-ins that are only licensed for use with Typefi Desktop. If you have any questions, please drop us a line.

Note

On 6 April 2017 at the Typefi User Conference in Chicago, we announced a licensing change for Typefitter. While Adobe stopped all sales of Creative Suite on 9 January 2017, we are instead giving away (registration required) free licenses for Typefitter for InDesign CS6. This free license is not eligible for technical support, and we make no assurances of future security or non-security updates.

Typefitter for InDesign CC is bundled free with subscriptions to Typefi Cloud Bronze, or can be licensed standalone for $4.99/mo (USD). Download it today from http://typefi.com/typefitter.

Typefitter 4.0.3 is the final version that includes plug-ins for InDesign CS6, InDesign CC (9.x), and InDesign CC 2014 (10.x). Future releases will support InDesign CC releases on a rolling, three major version, schedule—support for new releases of InDesign CC will become available within 90 days of their general availability.
