The FlipFont solution debuts with a selection of 10 scalable fonts downloadable to the Nokia N73, N95 and N95 8GB handsets. Typeface designs range from the ITC Stylus font, with its hand-lettered feel, to the attention-grabbing ITC Musclehead design, starting at £1.99 for a single font. The FlipFont solution also includes a utility that allows customers to ‘flip’ to use a different font, or access additional fonts that can be previewed, licensed and downloaded. Additional fonts are expected to become available on an ongoing basis.

The initially supported phones are based on Symbian OS and the Nokia S60 platform which support Monotype Imaging’s iType scalable font engine.
