• Publishing: Pageflex technologies have pioneered a new direction in composition software: Web-top publishing. Web-top publishing software helps novice users create high-quality printed products using intelligent, flexible templates, without installing or learning any new desktop publishing software. Pageflex templates are intelligent and flexible because professional designers can set rules to define which elements can change, how much they can change, and who can change them. Pageflex products thus maintain corporate identity and design integrity while enabling sophisticated customizing of documents.

• Font Technology: Bitstream delivers complete text composition and font rendering solutions for consumer electronics devices, mobile phones, PDAs, set-top boxes, digital TVs, printers, graphics applications, and embedded systems. Bitstream Panorama is a small, fast, portable text composition engine that enables developers to draw strings of characters and lay out complex lines of text. Font Fusion® provides the best possible text output for digital or analog TV of any font solution on the market today. btX2 is a Linux font subsystem that delivers international fonts, font rendering engine, and commercial use of TrueType hints in one license agreement from one vendor. Bitstream also provides font solutions for developers, including a CCTV font set, compact Asian stroke-based fonts, delta-hinted screen fonts, open source fonts, Tiresias Screenfont, TV fonts, and worldwide fonts.
