   PopChar X 8.0

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Thirty years after its introduction, Ergonis Software has released
   [1]PopChar X 8.0, a major new release for the character discovery
   utility that now enables you to create custom layouts and to link fonts
   to preferred layouts (such as linking the Apple Color Emoji font to the
   new built-in Emoji layout). The release now finds and displays
   ligatures that are available in fonts, shows recently used characters
   in a dedicated group at the top of the character table, displays the
   number of installed fonts and font families in the PopChar About
   window, supports skin tone variants of 'zero-width joiner' Emoji
   sequences, and fixes a bug that prevented removal of certain characters
   from the Favorites group.

   PopChar X 8.0 is a free upgrade for those who purchased a license for
   PopChar X 7 on or after 1 September 2016, and upgrade pricing is
   available for owners of older licenses (visit the Ergonis Web site's
   [2]online store and enter your license key to find your pricing).
   ('¬29.99 new with a 25 percent discount for [3]TidBITS members, free
   update, 5.0 MB, [4]release notes, 10.6+)
