FontCreator 世界上最受歡迎的字型編輯軟體

FontCreator 字型軟體 ，功能強大、便利實用，簡單操作，一般電腦使用者都可以輕易操作的字型設計軟體。

FontCreator 可以讓使用者匯入 .otf、.ttf、.ttc字型檔案來直接修改其中的字型或字型資訊，或者想要自行設計一個全新的字型也可以。而它也有讓使用者直接轉換 BMP 圖檔為字型的功能，這對於善於使用繪圖軟體的人來說，製作字型只是讓 Font Creator 將圖檔轉換為字型資料的動作而已，相當的簡單。

你能夠把被瀏覽的映像轉換成 TrueType 或 OpenType 的樣子，這樣可 以讓你創建特有的簽名、標示和書寫體。你可以存儲創建的字體，並且可以在文字處理和圖表軟體中使用。

另外，如果你認為某個字型不大好看，你也可以針對某個字型“稍加修飾”，讓它更符合你的需求！

FontCreator has been using friendly glyph names for a long time, but it never fully used the power of it. With this release we've further improved friendly glyph names, which also allow smart feature generation based on glyph names and their suffixes. A new glyph sort (design mode) sorts glyphs in categories, which allow you to better concentrate on specific groups of glyphs. 
 

OpenType Feature Generation
Besides automatically creating kerning pairs for pair adjustment lookups, FontCreator can automatically add numerous other OpenType layout features to your font. Within the OpenType Designer window click the first icon from the upper left corner. You will now be able to select which features you want to generate and/or update. The generator heavily relies on glyph names, so ensure your font contains glyphs with friendly glyph names as explained in the user manual.

The Benefits of Anchors
Using anchors to position mark glyphs with respect to mark and base glyphs has several benefits, especially in combination with auto attach, as then changes to your base and mark glyphs instantly update your composites, taking into account both outlines and anchor positions. The new feature generator adds all required lookups and features for anchor based positioning; supporting special marks for upper case glyphs, narrow glyphs, and more. The tutorial Latin Diacritical Marks - Accents explains how to add support for Latin diacritical marks in your fonts.
 

Insert Glyphs Dialog
The enhanced Insert Glyphs dialog supports formulas for generating the glyph outlines as a composite. It is based on anchors, so ensure your glyph members have appropriate anchors. The metrics of the composite glyph will also be calculated, and available kerning between individual glyphs will also be applied. Just provide the glyph name, followed by an equal sign and the glyph names separated by a plus sign. Don't use spaces as that would be treated as a new glyph you want to insert. 
It will add a glyph named f_i_j and will make it a composite that is made out of these glyphs: f, i, and j.

You can also use such a formula on an existing glyph. Select Custom Formula from the Edit menu.

Preview support for comparing same text with different features enabled
The preview text allows you to enable and disable features for subsequent text. This allows you to test several feature combinations at once, so for example you can compare how small capitals behave with and without kerning applied. It also allows you to compare the way lining and oldstyle figures work with tnum or pnum enabled.
Within the preview text provide “/otsettings=” to override or “/otsettings+” to enable and disable features. 

Smart Glyph Switching
Within a glyph edit window, you can enable the Comparison toolwindow. You can then click any glyph to switch to it. This allows you to quickly switch between glyphs within a single glyph edit window.
