MOOGAN Great application, very flexible and capable of producing stunning results. Works well with other Belight software like Disc cover 2. Great fun to experiment with an ideal for creating logos.

FARIBORZ The new version 2.0 contains so many enhancements that it's simply impossible to resist buying it. I upgraded to it only after a few minutes of trying it. Art Text 2 has now a more intuitive interface that allows faster access to its tools and in my opinion has a quicker rendering as well. If you are a graphic designer, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. Fariborz AMIRSHAHI - Verona (Italy)

BEDOUIN I first learned about this program in an issue of MacWorld and became curious, especially since an OS X version of TypeStyler seems unlikely, despite the developer's claims. Even if an OS X version of TypeStyler did arrive, I don't think a glorified version of MS Word's "Word Art" is really worth $149! This is more sensible, especially since I was able to snatch it for $24.95 through a one-day promo. My only complaint is that, at times, Art Text borders on being cheesy. Some of the effects remind me too much of the horrific 'word art' found in many MS Publisher-created newsletters. Barf. No Nancy, not every heading needs 5 color 3D graphics. But in the hands of someone with good sensibility Art Text can be a very useful tool, and it's definitely at the right price. Hopefully future versions will bring reduce the cheese factor though.

ASH435 Great software despite a needlessly innovative interface. Capable of some cool effects and very compatible with iWork. Try buying a licence without registration backup service though. No don't bother, you can't. So don't forget, it costs slightly more than they say. But hey, you don't need to write down your keycode.

FARIBORZ I bought this fabulous application only minutes after its first try. It's indeed amazing and the price is very reasonable for such a full-featured program. The interface is intuitive and after a few minutes you can use it without ever consulting its manual. It's fast even on a G4 and allows making gorgeous effects in a snap. I highly recommend this program to all Mac users. Fariborz AMIRSHAHI - Verona (Italy)

WILLIAM25 An Excellent start. Love this program. Have been looking for a sucessor to Typestyler and now we have it. The only criticism I have is minor: The text entry box could be bigger to accommodate the width and depth multiple lines of type.

TFINDLAY This is a very elegantly designed program. It fills a need that has been around since the advent of OS 10. In OS 9 there was TypeStyler and now for Tiger we have its successor, Art Text. Like most OS X applications it blows its OS 9 counterpart out of the water. Art Text is very easy to use and yet almost endlessly flexible.
