QuarkXpress 6.5 (#2): Photoshop import plug-in coming in first quarter of 2005; More problems with fonts

Photoshop import plug-in coming in first quarter of 2005 Yesterday we noted that QuarkXpress 6.5 does is currently not shipping with its highly touted Photoshop file import capability.

According to an article in CreativePro, Quark has stated the XTension for Photoshop native PSD import (which is actually ALAP Image Import) will not be available until the first quarter of 2005.

More problems with fonts MacFixIt reader Tom Ernst reports continuing issues with some typefaces in the new release of QuarkXpress:

"I installed the 6.5 upgrade today and Quark still seems to suffer from not being able to recognize certain fonts that every other running application can see. Very disappointing--this bug has forced me to retreat to v4 for several jobs in the past couple months."
