Anyone continuing to use older versions may want to review historical issues that have been resolved. The descriptions of these issues are listed here:TrueType WWDoc fonts
Anyone using the OpenType version of PowerMath should upgrade their fonts to the TrueType version of the WWDoc fonts. The older Postscript Type 1 fonts have been known to cause issues in OS/X and be reported as a bad font. OS/X will remove bad fonts.PowerMathID for Adobe InDesign/InCopy CS3/CS4/CS5/CS5.5 (Postscript Type 1).
PowerMath for Postscript Type 1 only supports the first 256 characters of any font. Since Postscript Type 1 fonts have a maximum of 256 characters, this version has been labeled the Postscript version. Power-House Software will continue to support this version because of its widespread use, however this version will be retired in the near future and plans to migrate your work to the OpenType version should be planned.PowerMath historical issues (Postscript Type 1)
Anyone continuing to use older versions may want to review historical issues that have been resolved. The descriptions of these issues are listed here:PowerMathID for Adobe InDesign/InCopy CS/CS2 (Postscript Type 1).
PowerMath for InDesign/InCopy CS/CS2 is available, however its use is discouraged. There have been many defects repaired and upgrading to the latest version is recommend.PowerMath Support Files
PowerMath Support Files (manuals, fonts, preferences)
The program is contained within a .dmg file for download.
Once downloaded, click open the .dmg. Double click on "PowerMath.mpkg"
to access the installer. This will install the various frameworks associated
with the PowerMath OS X standalone application as well as the application
itself: "PowerMathApp". Normally, the "Applications"
folder would be chosen as the target location. Then, copy the PowerMath
plug-ins PowerMath disk to
the "Plug-Ins" folder for InDesign. You will then be ready to try the program in Demo mode
(and see below).
The program is now generically organized into two components: a PowerMath
standalone application and Plug-Ins developed specifically for host document-producing
programs such as InDesign.
This was done in order to minimize training/retraining., to unify the user
experience across platforms and various document producing programs which
may call the PowerMath application from native plug-ins. This
strategy will guarantee ongoing data compatibility for equations and complex
preferences (supersets) as the program evolves across various existing
document-producing host programs, as well as future technology shifts.
The great majority of functionality is contained in the standalone, which
can even create and edit supersets and libraries of equations without the
involvement of any plug-ins. Simply double-click the "PowerMathApp"
icon from the finder, and use the "File" menu options in order
to do this.
PowerMath for OS X is fully compatible with complex preferences ("Supersets") from the OS9 versions, as well as with equations converted to PowerMath ASCII from those versions. Legacy PowerMath equations and "Supersets" through Mac OS 9 are fully supported--the equations via PowerMath ASCII import, and the Supersets without modification.
Custom Pi fonts for oversized glyphs which were used very extensively throughout the very large volume of PowerMath legacy books and documents are also currently supported by PowerMath. This includes drawing and accurate derivation of metrics data for any and all of these oversized glyphs, with no special concerns or workarounds as may still be required for some related applications migrating to Mac OS X. Simply download the PowerMath Support Files.
The downloaded PowerMath application will operate in Demo Mode. This
software is copy-protected by an "Eve3" hardware key.
Access to production-enabled software can be purchased from Power-House
Software by purchasing one of these keys. The initial purchase price includes
access to all PowerMath upgrades for one year. Please contact us directly for pricing and ordering
options.
