Worker 72a Plugins by Doug Habben are now available here for Mac and Windows.
They are compatible with Adobe Illustrator 2021-2024 for Windows PCs as well as Macs with either M1 or Intel processors.
Plugins are not yet compatible with Adobe Illustrator 2025 (v. 29). Your current plugins will alert you when the 2025 update is available. In the meantime, you can use most AI 2024 plugins in AI 2025 with minimal incompatibilities.
Plugins may not load in AI 2022 on older systems still running macOS 10.15 Catalina, therefore Catalina is currently not supported for AI 2022 plugins.

FontSafe
FontSafe is a prepress utility plugin for Adobe Illustrator that can automatically store the files for fonts used in a document embedded inside of the document itself. When the Illustrator document is opened again in some other time or place, the needed fonts can be extracted, so they will always be available. Unlike Adobe Illustrator’s native Package function, it even works with most Asian fonts!
Fonts can be embedded automatically every time you save your document, or updated as needed.
Fonts are extracted as a zip archive in the same directory as your Illustrator document. Optionally require a password to extract the fonts.
This is the same FontSafe plugin you’ve known from Worker72a, updated for Windows and Apple M1. Evaluate the full version with 500 free trial uses, or use it in extract-only mode for free.
