In the “My Library” section, users will see a "New version(s) available" link on rows of fonts with new versions, allowing them to update those fonts to the latest version.

Clicking the "New version(s) available" link on font rows will open a new modal showing all version details and giving the option to select your desired version and proceed with updating the selected font.

When users add a font or a font family to a font list for the first time and do not select a specific font version, the latest version will be added by default.

Users who would prefer to select a version other than the most recent should click on the “Manage versions” dropdown and make a specific selection before clicking the “Add to” button.

“Manage versions” link appear for each font in the font rows under the “Sync” dropdown on the family, browse, synced, and favorites pages.

While syncing the font list, only the version of the font that the user has added will get synced.

The "New version(s) available" link will only be available on family rows of font list pages.

The "New version(s) available" link will only appear when there is a version update for the particular font format added to the font list since new versions are distinct to formats and may not be released at the same time.

The new font version modal shows details like the version number, the nature of the updates to that font, and more.

Version details will only appear for styles for which more than one version is available, and the "Manage versions" link will only appear on font list pages if version details are available. Font version history will be available on the font family page, with the ability to add any version (whether that’s the latest version or an older version) to a list.

Integration of popular "WhatTheFont" tool as a new search and discovery feature in Monotype Fonts.

Users may access this feature by clicking the camera icon on the dashboard

Functionality allows users to search for fonts in the Monotype Fonts library using a search by image mechanism.

Users can upload an image from their device, drag and drop, or enter a URL to commence the search process.

Users are able to then select a portion of the image to focus the identification process on a particular area. Users can also rotate or crop the image if needed.

The image is scanned and the user is presented with a set of results that either completely match the font in their image or are closely related in terms of characteristics of the typeface.

The results are also specific to any of the subscribed channels the user has.

Users are able to save the font(s) to a list or favorite them. Alternatively, the fonts can be set to "sync" and put into use immediately.

CCJK fonts are currently not supported in this feature.

Fonts that are not part of Monotype Fonts’ library are currently excluded from this feature.

Fonts imported to the library by the user are also excluded.

On your login pages, you will see divisions of where you are mapped by active directory groups and domains.

You will only be able to log into divisions where you are mapped by domain, and will not be able to log into divisions where you are mapped by ad groups.

Onboarding default domain mapping should be the same as active directory default mapping.

After existing companies switch from active directory group mapping to domain-based mapping, the domain mapping field may appear blank until you log in for the first time. This occurs because mapping has not yet been established.

EULA acceptance for Monotype Library Subscription (MLS) users on Monotype Fonts: If you are an MLS user migrating to Monotype Fonts, you will not need to accept the end-user license agreement (EULA) before accessing the Monotype Fonts platform.

Expired accounts blocked for greater platform security and compliance: When a user's account reaches its expiration date, they will no longer be able to log in. Blocking attempts to log into expired accounts enhances security by ensuring that only authorized users can access our platform.

Authentication provider moved from legacy database to microservice: Our authentication system has moved from a legacy database to a modern microservice architecture. The new microservice uses the latest technologies and best practices, ensuring the security of your data while increasing reliability and scalability.

Optimized SSO tab: Introducing our updated SSO tab—now 40% faster! We've optimized performance for a more seamless and secure experience.

No extra charge for add on fonts marked as production: Because you’ve already paid for add on fonts (or custom fonts), you will no longer be charged for add on fonts that are marked as production fonts using the production font tracking feature.

One variable font on production to be counted as five production fonts: Variable fonts can be used in five different ways. With this release, one variable font marked as production via the production font tracking feature is equivalent to five production fonts. The versatility of variable fonts makes them an inherently versatile and valuable addition to any font collection.

Universal installer for macOS™: The user will not have to choose between a regular installer (which runs as a Rosetta-translated program on ARM-powered machines (M1/M2), or the optimized installer that runs as a native program on ARM machines. The installer is intelligent enough to detect the underlying architecture and install the app that is built to be optimized for it.

Previously, the app was being run using Apple's emulator (Rosetta 2).

The native app will empower IT teams to ensure their users are running the optimized app to leverage M1 benefits, such as better Mac performance and battery efficiency.

Customers regularly using multiple formats of a font in their projects can now select specific font formats when adding to a list, web project, or digital ad.

Users who have access to the list or project can only sync those specific formats to their desktop app. This saves time and avoids accidental use of incorrect font formats for a project.

Optimized CCJK filters now deliver more accurate and relevant search results.

We have introduced both Traditional and Simplified Chinese language filters and pangrams that are distinct from each other.

The relevant language pangram now displays when that corresponding language filter is selected.

UI improvements to the TypeTester make it easier to see how to filter glyphs or preview different language pangrams, and reset to the default pangram.

You can easily see how many web page views or impressions you have received for a web project or digital ad.

If you have exceeded your limit of web page views or impressions, there is a new option to purchase more to add to your plan.

When a language filter is selected, sorting by "relevance" now shows font families with the largest glyph coverage for the selected language.

When a language filter is selected, sorting by "popularity" now shows popular fonts according to our statistics on font usage for specific languages.

The pangram previews of font families now change according to which language filter is selected.

You can now more seamlessly switch between the available language pangrams on the Type Tester.

Missing font detection and activation are supported for Illustrator 2022.

The app will launch automatically only when missing fonts are detected.

This fixes an issue wherein imported fonts were not getting displayed in font lists when there was no default variation available.

Language-based pangrams are now available as a drop-down list on the Type Tester on "Browse" and "My Library," so you can preview fonts using your preferred language script.

The Type Tester can be used to filter out typefaces that don’t contain the script or characters you require. Just enter your text into the Type Tester in the script you’re searching for, and only typefaces that support all the characters you've entered will appear in your results.

The language filter will now show more non-Latin languages in the top 10. Individual Latin-based languages have been removed from top 10, and "Latin" has been added as the first language as a group for all Latin-based languages.

On the font and family pages, the "Supported Languages" section will now show languages in alphabetical order for easy searching.

Web project and digital ad reports will now be available under the "Usage" tab, instead of the "Reports" tab.

The "Reports" tab has been removed to allow a single unified "Usage" tab for all reporting.

The UI of the "Usage" tab has been updated slightly for better navigation between different reports.

19 new Monotype Tags let you search for typefaces by mood and feel.

The Tags are built using our AI/ML engine, meaning that description-led search results are more accurate and relevant than ever before.

Monotype Tags will be the first suggestions shown when using the search bar.

The search bar will suggest relevant Monotype Tags if you search for a synonym. For instance, if you search for "Friendly," the "Casual" Tag will be suggested.

Monotype Tags results will be automatically sorted based on best-match relevancy instead of popularity, so the most relevant results always appear first.

You can combine multiple Monotype Tags for a more specific set of results. Once a Monotype Tag is applied, only the available matching tags are displayed for selection.

The new Shared Library will give better visibility and control to Company Admins on their library structure.

Any asset that is shared with at least one more person than the creator will become part of the Shared Library, and Company Admins will be able to view and manage those assets.

Company Admins will be able to search for any asset by name and filter shared assets by asset type and asset creator.

Asset hierarchy will be shown for all assets (even if the parent asset is not a shared asset) to give Admins better visibility.

Admins can modify access to shared assets from the Shared Library tabular view, or click on the asset names and manage them from the asset page. This includes modifying access, editing details, removing fonts, copying, subsetting, etc.

Currently, Company Admins will not be able to move or add fonts to these assets.

The custom date filter on the "Usage" tab will only show months and years.

Upon company expiration or trial expiration, all company users will be logged out of the web and desktop apps automatically on next refresh.

A new in-app notification center provides you with the latest news on feature updates, font releases, and much more.

Detection of potentially conflicting font management apps triggers a warning message and suggestion to quit the conflicting app.

You can resize the app window by simply dragging it from an edge.

New filters refine searching of imported fonts. Filter by web fonts/desktop fonts and private tags.

You can now update license counts in bulk and apply private tags to multiple imported fonts in one go.

Private tags applied to imported font families will be auto applied to all styles under that family, and any private tag applied to a style will be visible on the font family row.

Some bug fixes were also included with this release.

All new web projects will be optimized for better performance and include:

The synced fonts page now shows the total number of families and the total number of fonts currently synced to the user's machine. The list of synced fonts is now paginated.

The "Sync all" button now displays the total number of fonts that will be synced by clicking it.

Emails that go out to users when a new library list or project is shared with them will now include the name of the company in addition to the name of the user who shared the list/project, to avoid confusing users with multiple company accounts/logins.

Preview pangrams will now be the same across font families, to more easily compare different fonts.

Preview font size selected by a user will be maintained while they browse, so their preference is remembered next time they land on a Browse page.

Hovering over a variable font will show an animated preview of the variable font demonstrating its variable properties.

You can now expand multiple family rows at once to view all styles, without collapsing any previously expanded family.

When styles under a family are expanded, they will now be lazy loaded for better experience.

A "Select all" feature has been added in a limited capacity to allow users to select all filtered fonts at once and perform bulk actions. The "Select all" option will appear only when the filtered results are less than or equal to 50 families, as that is the maximum limit for bulk actions.

Private tags applied to families will be auto applied to all of the styles under them, and any private tag applied to a style will be visible on the family row.

While deactivating a user, company admins can now select a new user to be the owner of all the assets created by the user being deactivated.

Company admins can now revoke an invite sent that has not yet been accepted by the user, instead of waiting for 14 days for the invite to auto-cancel. There is also a new tab available on the "Users" page where all pending invites will be listed, instead of the Active users tab.

Roles that are not in use or assigned to any user can now be deleted.

User email addresses can now be updated by Company Admins, as long as the new email address is not associated with another user on any Monotype Fonts customer account. In this case, company admins will have to ask our Support Team to merge the two users.

A new role permission has been added to restrict freelancers or contractors so they can only see or share assets with those that are part of the teams assigned to them, rather than being able to see the entire company structure.

The new top header with universal search bar is now available on all pages of the platform, including the Manage section.

New trial users will be asked to self-identify themselves as Individuals, Agencies, or Businesses when they log in for the first time. This will enable personalized onboarding and support, as well as suggestions of curated plans for them.

Users can now send a request to their admins to invite teammates to their company account for collaboration. Admins will be notified of such requests and will see all such requests under the "Invited" tab on the Users page, from which they can approve or reject any request. An invitation link will be sent to the new user when the admin approves the request.

New "Inspiration view" on Browse where artwork or font-in-use examples are displayed instead of preview text.

The top header navigation bar has been revamped to include the search bar and Resources section. The secondary header (previously the Discover section) has been removed.

The Help Center link has been moved to the user profile drop-down.

My Library page load times have been reduced considerably when there are a large number of assets created or shared with a user.

Font family counts in addition to font counts will be displayed on font list, web project, and digital ad pages.

For CCJK web fonts, if subsetted heuristically using language-based subsetting, web font size will be displayed as a range of smallest to largest subset, instead of a sum of all subsets to avoid confusion on file size and performance of heuristically subsetted web fonts.
