FontCreator Description
FontCreator Home Edition is a program specifically developed so as to help typographers and graphic designers to easily create their own fonts, signatures or logos.
This software utility uses medium to low CPU and memory and enables you to load TTF, OTF and WOFF files as well as already installed fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri, Comic Sans MS etc.), from which you can draw inspiration.
The interface is comprised of a panel in which to open and edit your fonts, along with many shortcut buttons. All the tool bars can be hidden or shown, while windows can be organized in a cascade, or tiled horizontally or vertically. Although the UI is intuitive, novice users are definitely going to find working with it tough, due to the specialized terminology present.
The application incorporates both TrueType and OpenType fonts, lets you view and edit font properties, including details such as width, weight, creation date, copyright notice, trademark, license agreement, line gap, serif style, contrast and family kind.
You have the possibility of identifying common problems and fix most of them with the font validation wizard provided by FontCreator Home Edition. It is important to remember that not all the reported issues are errors, and that is why you should pay attention whether or not you want to fix them all.
This software utility features a tool that enables you to convert images (GIF, TIFF, JPG, BMP, EMF, PDF, PS etc.) to outlines. This means that you can even use scanned pictures to create fonts with your signature or logo.
To sum up, FontCreator Home Edition is a useful piece of software that helps you create your own fonts from scratch. There are a lot of options and tools available, the response time is good, and you can clean up kerning pairs.
