SoftMaker Office
SoftMaker Office is SoftMaker's flagship product, an office suite marketed to home, small business and educational users. As a major sales point, SoftMaker cites its ability to render graphs and charts within PlanMaker which are often indistinguishable from those created within Microsoft's Excel. Significantly, this level of compatibility extends to non-Windows platforms.
Digital fonts
SoftMaker offers font packages for the home user (MegaFont NOW) and professional user (infiniType).
SoftMaker publishes one font each month free for download from its FreeFont web site.
