Thats great.  I have two more questions.  Will it be compatible with CS4 and will I be able to flow text into the program using .phf fonts...

Photofont ID released in October 2009 is now available for Mac OS X and Windows. This free plugin allows you to use full-color bitmap-based photofonts in Adobe InDesign CS3 and CS4.

I am using ID CS3 for Mac OS X. I installed the Photofont plugin following the CS3 instructions in the INSTALLATION.txt file, yet when I open ID CS3 I receive the following error:

Code:

Adobe InDesign cannot load the PhotofontID4.InDesignPlugin plug-in. The PhotofontID4.InDesignPlugin plug-in requires the 6.0 version of Adobe InDesign. Please contact the vendor to get a compatible version of PhotofontID4.InDesignPlugin.

ID 6.0 is exclusively CS4 as far as I know. Is there a separate plug-in file for CS3?

The zip file PI1Mac.zip you downloaded has two plug-ins:
PhotofontID3.InDesignPlugin
and
PhotofontID4.InDesignPlugin
You have to use the first one for CS3.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, looking at the zip file again there is only the one plugin inside. I just re-downloaded it from your site and again only ID4 plugin is there. Can you point me to a direct download for the version that contains both ID3 and ID4 plugins?
