Use Components to build accented letters or ligatures from other glyphs - the composite glyphs you create will inherit outlines, guides and anchors from the component sources. FontLab will display all matching diacritical marks in the Anchor Cloud, and will use your anchors to generate composite glyphs and the mark/mkmk OpenType features. Position Anchors manually or link their positions to other anchors or guides with math expressions. New Find visual kerning collisions with Audit Kerning. Preview the Kerning Classes clouds as you kern and compare your decisions with live autokerning suggestions. Step through your phrases with the Pairs & Phrases panel, or dive into details using slanted sidebearings and the Measurement line.Ĭlass kerning is now compatible with UFO and OpenType, without key glyphs, and conflict-free. Perform metrics and improved kerning editing in a multi-line Metrics Window, with an adjustable, distraction-free UI and intuitive keyboard shortcuts. Matchmaker works on Sections, which are sequences of line or curve segments. Whether you have two, four, seven or a dozen masters, the improved Matchmaker tool helps you make their point structure compatible for interpolation. FontLab can help you automatically match your masters by sorting contours, relocating start points and correcting path direction. To create intermediate designs via interpolation, you need all your glyph masters to have the same number and geometric structure of contours and nodes. Unlimited axes, intermediate font masters, glyph masters that affect only certain glyphs give you complete freedom in designing interpolable font families and variable OpenType fonts. Thanks to our Variations engine based on MutatorMath, your Masters no longer need to stand in the MM corners, but can be placed freely within the design space. With axis instances, define per-axis interpolation locations and style phrases, and FontLab will automatically build a matrix of all instances for all axes, with correct Style names and Style groups. To create interpolated instances or a variable OpenType (TT or new CFF2) font from one or more Font masters, use Font Info to add the axes and assign axis locations for all font masters within your FontLab font.Įasily plan your Instances for an extensive font family or a variable font. Rotate and scale imported graphics, crop, blur, remove noise and background.Ī font family consists of fonts that have different locations on one or more design space Axes, such as width, weight, slant or optical size. Improved Split and autotrace or place the images into the img layer for reference to draw over them.

You can also arrange text frames showing different fonts you're working on, and export the contents into a PDF or SVG for proofing.ĭrag-drop or copy-paste pixel images in most formats, with mono, grayscale, full color and transparency support. It's great for collecting sketches, separating artwork into glyph images, or just drawing logos and symbols using all of FontLab's juicy Bezier magic. Our Sketchboard is a a virtual desk or canvas that allows you to draw and experiment outside of any glyph.

Arrange them on the Sketchboard, optionally turn bitmaps into smooth vector graphics using autotrace, then automatically assign the letterforms to glyphs to create a fully working font in a few minutes. Copy-paste glyph outlines or color vector graphics from Adobe Illustrator, FontLab Studio, or other vector drawing or font apps, import SVG drawings, bitmap images and new PDF graphics. You've made your drawings somewhere else? No problem.

Draw multi-color contours, bring in color outlines, improved SVGs and bitmap images, overlay layered fonts and create emoji or chromatic fonts for all Color OpenType-enabled platforms: Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CC 2018+, macOS, Windows 8+, iOS, Android and modern web browsers. In FontLab 7, everything is color-enabled.

We love curves so much that we are making them better. You can draw in fractional or integer coordinates, see view numeric and visual measurements, find & fix contour imperfections.Ĭreating Bezier curves is no longer 'mastery or mystery.' You can draw smooth, consistent glyphs, autotrace bitmaps, create overlaps, simplify paths, equalize stems, scale outlines while keeping stroke thickness. It lets you create, open, modify, draw, space, kern, hint and export desktop, web, color and variable OpenType fonts for any Unicode writing system, from Latin, Cyrillic and Greek, to Arabic, Hebrew and Indic, all the way to Chinese, Japanese, emoji, symbols and icons.
