Fleet Street Publisher was an Atari ST desktop publishing program produced by Mirrorsoft in the United Kingdom and released in November 1986. A IBM PC compatible version produced by Rowan Software was planned for 1987[1] but never released.
Running under GEM the program offered features such as multi-column text, the ability to design flow charts and graphics and multiple document sizes (flyers, menus, cards, etc.). Possible font sizes ranged from 4 to 216 points with support for accented characters. Character and line spacing where fully controllable by the user. The software came with a 150 image clipart gallery.[2]
The software was superseded by Timeworks Publisher (Publish-It in the United States), which the market regarded as a much better product. This new version was produced by GST Software Products, and upgrades for the PC versions were available into the late 2000s.[3][4]
