FONT EDITORS

The Font Creator Program puts font creation within the grasp of the average PC user, would-be typographers and graphic designers. With this application you can create and edit TrueType font files. You can use the modified fonts in Windows 10. Features include the ability to convert (scanned) bitmaps (.bmp files) to TrueType outlines, thus enabling you to create your own signature, logo and handwriting. In addition, unlimited undo and redo and repeat options are available. The modified fonts can be saved and then used in popular word processing and illustration programs.

The enhanced transformation scripts let you create hundreds of additional characters in seconds. FontCreator's improved generation of composites, allows you to automatically generate outlines for more than 2,000 characters. The enhanced validation features enable you to improve the quality of your fonts. FontCreator comes with significant revisions to the manual kerning process, and much more.

The editor lets you easily select any installed font, displaying the entire character set complete with descriptions of every letter, number, and special character.
FontCreator is a true native font editor, so there is no need to buy or install third-party tools or extensions. You can edit OpenType, TrueType and Web fonts, Import Raster (bitmap) Images, Optimize Contours and more.
Once you've perfected your work of art, a click on the program's toolbar will install your creation.
