MyFonts ® , the world's leading online provider of fonts and a division of Bitstream Inc. (NASDAQ: BITS), announced today more than 1 million registered users now buy fonts at the MyFonts.com website. At MyFonts.com users find, try and buy fonts from one of the largest online selection of fonts online– over 62,000 fonts from more than 500 foundries around the world.

This

significant milestone comes after a robust period of innovation for MyFonts. Last spring the company released the WhatTheFont SM iPhone application. WhatTheFont uses the iPhone’s built-in camera to photograph text used on magazines, posters, billboards, menus or any other place people encounter interesting fonts. Once the text is photographed, it is sent to the WhatTheFont online service which quickly returns a list of possible matching fonts. Since it was first posted to Apple’s App Store, WhatTheFont has been downloaded over 150,000 times, giving a new group of users the power to identify, find, and buy the fonts they need – all from their iPhone.

MyFonts also improved its website, making it even easier for users to navigate and find the fonts they need for their projects.

“The mission of MyFonts has been simple: to make it the best place to find and buy fonts,” said John Collins, vice president and chief technology officer at Bitstream. “People use fonts every day, and today’s computers and software makes switching fonts and adding new fonts simple for users at all levels of experience. There needs to be a place like MyFonts where people can easily find the specific font that makes the right impact in presentations, newsletters, homework, email and a host of other printed and digital documents. The range of fonts, the list of foundries, and the volume of users that come together at MyFonts affirms our position as this leading provider of the world's fonts.”
