Hello Kono I'm not quite sure, whether you here mean the application interface(s) or the website 'interface'... Both iText Express and iText Pro 09 do indeed have a real clean application interface which at first was what cought me to try the OS X version after having used the old iText 3.x on OS 9.x. As Doug wrote, the iText Express or iText Pro 09 might be a very good and somewhat enhanced replacement for TextEdit but with quite a lot of extra features such as being able to open and read ePub documents and converting them to other more 'Mac-friendly' text formats as well as the ability to use both RegEx and OgreKit engines. Both iText versions /are not/ meant as textprocessors but /text editors/ - yet simple to use and rather powerful towards the more professional 'LightwayText' text editor. OK, I may be somewhat 'disqualified' here, since I'm the one who make the Danish translations of both iText Express and iText pro 09.:-) - But when this said, I still like both versions as I've always liked the old classic iText 3.x And Kino, - if you mean the website interface, I can agree a bit to the claims. Too many colors, yes, - but they only use *1* font family = Times, which isn't that good reading for visually impaired. - The problem is here that the colored text are put in as pictures, so you can't just change or remove colors using a web browser that is able to do this - such as Firefox, Camino, SeaMonkey or any other Mozilla based browser. - Safari is completely unable to change any kind of font - or background - color.:-( Cheers, Erik Richard Kino wrote: > For relatively recent subscribers to the list, I'd like to tell you that Doug > had/has been making every effort to help the developer(s) to improve the > English interface.
