PopChar for Mac

v10.1 is available. "• Fixed issue in which inserting a formatted character would fail in some cases. • Fixed incorrect entries in font lists. • Under-the-hood performance and compatibility enhancements."

v10.0 is out. The upgrade is currently 50% off. It's excellent. It has a new layout with a box around each font character. You can set a black background, if you choose. But the big new feature is the font info. You can either click the magnifying glass at the bottom left of the character window to keep font info on, OR you can choose a font character with the cursor then hit CMD-i to see a font info box for that character. 5 star as ever! Here's the FULL LIST of CHANGES: FEATURES • Redesigned UI (classic functionality meets modern design) • New magnifier view with more info and details • New visualization for shortcuts • Spanish language support • Full Unicode 15 compatibility • Built-in layout for Emoji 15.0 • New insertion modes • New and easier navigation concept • Added support for Swift code insertion IMPROVEMENTS • Optimized for macOS Sonoma • Improved dark mode for comfortable viewing • Stability and performance optimization • Various cleanups and improvements under the hood

I'm trying to update my PopChar. The only license key number I have (July 2022) is not working, and I can't find any way to contact them for customer service. My late husband is the one who always did all this for me, and I'm struggling to make sense of why I can't do this upgrade. Can you offer any suggestions for how to contact someone who can tell me what license key to use? Any help you can offer would be gratefully received. The Ergonis website talks about how their goal is to solve problems in a user-friendly way, but it's really mystifying that they would not give a customer support contact so they can solve my problem.

v9.4 is out. Release Notes: • PopChar is now a universal application with native support for Apple Silicon. • On supporting keyboards, the F20 function key can be used as PopChar's hotkey. • Internal redesign of the character rendering components improves speed and consistency between fonts. • Improved detection of the processor type. • Improved vertical alignment of characters within table cells. • Improved metrics adjustments for some fonts in the IBM Plex family. • The diagnostics report now contains information about the computer model and processor. • Consistent vertical alignment of characters in the magnified view. • Information about the “start at login” setting in the diagnostics report. • Improved handling of internal scripts in certain corner cases. • Support for SF Symbols 3.3 (new character names and layout for the “SF Compact” and “SF Pro” fonts). • Fixes incorrect vertical position of space brackets in certain fonts. • Fixes an issue where the magnifier sometimes stopped working after switching fonts. • Fixes a problem where the “corner P” was partly obscured by the rounded screen corner on MacBooks with a notch. • Fixes a problem where ligatures in certain fonts were not correctly displayed in the magnified view. • Works around a problem that could cause a crash when PopChar tried to display information about a new version. • Fixes a problem where some characters could not be found by entering certain name parts in the search field. • Fixes a cosmetic issue where the window resize indicator appeared on top of open menus.

How can you live without PopChar? It is definitely one of the most usefull apps available. Finding Font characters of different languages would take ages. With PopChar it is just a click. I have been using for ages and I love it.
