WARNING! Linotype FontExplorer 1.2 Wreaks Havoc

by: Erik Vlietinck - Last Updated: Mon 09 July 2007

On July 7, LinoType released FontExplorer 1.2 with updated plug-ins for InDesign , Illustrator, and QuarkXPress 7. The QuarkXPress 7 XTension crashes QuarkXPress and your machine really hard.

We discovered the crash ourselves, right after profiling our monitor. When starting QuarkXPress 7.2, the application seems to launch fine until after a couple of seconds, the screen starts getting filled with tiny coloured squares. At that point, the machine is completely stuck and all you can do is force it to reboot, using the power button.
