Important: Features of Bookmania marked with an asterisk (*) need OpenType advanced typography support in order to work (swashes, specifically). It works best with applications like Adobe Creative Suite and QuarkXPress. In other applications, features might be unattainable. A 'glyph' scheme or window is needed to access all but the fundamental swash versions. Check your application's user guide for availability of these features.
