PopChar turns 30 + Ergonis Turns 15 = You Save 45%

Longtime Mac developer Ergonis Software celebrates its 15th anniversary combined with the 30th anniversary of PopChar, company’s award-winning tool for finding and inserting special characters and exploring fonts. In celebration of these anniversaries, customers can save 45% off the regular price when ordering a license for PopChar, Typinator, or KeyCue before May 24th 2017.

“When we founded Ergonis Software 15 years ago, Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) was the current Mac OS version. Together with the launch of Ergonis, we released PopChar X 1.0, the first OS X native version of PopChar, which already had a 15 years history on classic Mac OS Systems at that time,” said Christoph Reichenberger, founder and CEO of Ergonis Software.

Today, the current version of PopChar X is 7.7, with version 8.0 just around the corner, and in addition to PopChar, Ergonis Software offers additional productivity boosters like Typinator, automating the process of inserting frequently used text and graphics and auto-correcting typing errors, and KeyCue, helping to learn and remember keyboard shortcuts.

Most of your fonts contain thousands of characters, many more than you can access from the keyboard.PopChar makes “typing” of unusual characters easy without having to remember keyboard combinations. Whenever you need a special character, PopChar is there to help.

Click the “P” in the menu bar to display a table of characters. Select the desired character and it instantly appears in your document.

PopChar works with all modern applications that support Unicode. It makes it easy to navigate and search within fonts that contain thousands of characters. Search for characters by their names, find fonts that contain certain characters, explore the character set of fonts, collect your favorite characters, insert HTML symbols. PopChar makes all these font-related tasks easy.

With PopChar, you can also take a look at fonts from a designer’s perspective — see a font preview, check out what a given text fragment looks like in a certain font, and print beautiful font sheets.

Starting with PopChar 7, you can even find special characters by simply drawing them

On the occasion of PopChar’s 30th anniversary, Ergonis’ CTO Gunther Blaschek wrote down the history of PopChar, starting with a system extension (called an “INIT” at that time) running on System 6 on a Mac Plus, up to a first glimpse at the soon to come version 8 on macOS Sierra. Visit the ergonis website (see link below) to read more about the milestones in the development of PopChar.

“We are happy to celebrate Ergonis’ 15th and PopChar’s 30th anniversary together today,” Christoph Reichenberger continues, recollecting the successful growth during the past years. “We invite our customers to celebrate with us using a simple formula: 15 years of Ergonis plus 30 years of PopChar equals a 45 % discount for our customers.”
