Ventura Publisher, originally from Xerox, is a professional desktop publishing program for the GEM graphical environment and later Windows. It has the distinction of being the first popular publishing program for the IBM PC platform. It competed with Aldus PageMaker, which initially was more popular on the Mac platform. There are also versions for Mac and OS/2.
Wanted: Mac and OS/2 versions.
Version 4.2 is the first release after Corel acquired Ventura Software.
This version adds fast font loading, support for Adobe Acrobat fonts, and includes Ventura Database Publisher. Otherwise, it was a fairly minor update.
