   PopChar X 6.2

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Ergonis Software has released [1]PopChar X 6.2 with a couple of
   improvements for quickly finding special characters. The update adds a
   Command-F keyboard shortcut to enter the search field, and you can also
   start typing a search string when the cursor is in PopChar's character
   table. The context menu gets a couple of additions, including a Copy
   Character Description command that copies a brief summary of the
   selected Unicode character and a Copy Font List command that copies a
   list of font names. The release also adds support for Unicode 6.2,
   improves appearance of the group pop-up button (particularly for Retina
   displays), fixes a bug that prevented some fonts from being detected in
   certain apps (such as Microsoft Word), and provides a workaround for
   window flickering on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Finally, you can now
   manually launch PopChar and open the PopChar window by double-clicking
   its icon in the Finder. Previously, double-clicking the Finder icon
   closed the PopChar window if it had already been open. ('¬29.99 new
