   PopChar X 7.2

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Ergonis Software has released [1]PopChar X 7.2 with improved support
   for OS X 10.11 El Capitan and added support for Unicode 8.0, which
   introduces 7,716 new characters including letters to support African
   languages, lowercase Cherokee symbols, new Emoji symbols, and more. The
   character discovery utility works around a problem on El Capitan that
   resulted in empty font tables, includes searchable descriptions and
   Mandarin pronunciations of Chinese characters, speeds up loading of
   character names, improves handling of font families with inaccessible
   font members (which also solves a problem with fallback fonts on El
   Capitan), and produces fewer console log messages when searching for
   shapes. ('¬29.99 new with a 25 percent discount for [2]TidBITS members,
   free update, 3.8 MB, [3]release notes, 10.6+)
