Publisher's description of FontCreator

From High-Logic:

This professional font editor allows you to create and edit TrueType and OpenType fonts. It has the powerful drawing tools that typographers and graphic designers require, and an intuitive interface that allows beginners to become productive immediately. When you create or open a font, FontCreator displays an overview of all available characters. You can simply add missing characters, or select an existing character, and modify its appearance. You can import (scanned) images of your signature or company logo, or make a font from your own handwriting. Other features include the ability to preview fonts before installing, and a font installation wizard that makes your fonts available to other applications. FontCreator also lets you fix character mappings, correct font names, and modify and clean up kerning pairs.

Version 5.6 comes with improved generation of composites, enhanced transformation scripts, and significant revisions to the manual kerning process.

"Amazing"

by Liesbet Groenhoven on September 20, 2007

Pros: When I found FontCreator on the Internet I was astonished how this editor
works. In a glance I understood how to get on with the tools. It only took
few seconds to transform my typefaces into italics with the Glyph
Transformer and it even adjusted the number of degrees! FontCreator is
exactly the editor I was looking for. A fantastic editor which I can
recommend to anyone!

"Excellent piece of Software"

Pros: FontCreator is a very powerful tool with many advanced features. FontCreater is valuable beyond just the creating of fonts as well. The ?Install Current Font? command alone makes the application worth owning especially if you have to work with different versions of the same font or have to swap out fonts of the same name. The Validation tools are also very nice. I highly recommend Font Creator.
