Introduction:
With Type-Designer you can create and modify your own
high-quality Adobe Type 1 and TrueType fonts.
Features
Reviews
The following reviews from international editors show
the extra class of Type-Designer:
"Type-Designer is the only program available on the PC that correctly converts Type 1 fonts into TrueType. All other programs distort the original letterforms and lose the original hints, but TrueType fonts generated by Type-Designer are virtually indistinguishable from the original Type 1 designs - even at small sizes and low resolutions. The program is a major achievement. Everyone who is seriously interested in fonts will want it."
- Edward Mendelson, Contributing Editor,
PC Magazine
»Der Type-Designer braucht einen
Vergleich mit seinen doppelt bis dreimal so teuren Konkurrenten wie FontLab
und oder Fontographer keineswegs zu scheuen. Mit der 3.0-Version hat die
Software erheblich an Funktionalität zugelegt und eignet sich bestens
dafür, Schriften zu modifizieren, zu ergänzen, zu optimieren
oder zu konvertieren. Den positiven Eindruck des neuen Releases rundet
ein stark überarbeitetes und erweitertes Handbuch ab, das eine Vielzahl
von nützlichen Hintergrundinformationen über Fonts enthält.«
(Free translation: "Type-Designer needn´t fear a comparsion with its two to three times more expensive competiors FontLab and Fontographer. With Version 3.0 the software increased its functionality considerable and is best suited for modifying, completing, optimizing or converting fonts. The positive impression of the new release is completed by a fully overworked and enhanced manual, giving a lot of helpful background information about fonts.")
- Kasper Brand, Page
»Autokerning, Autohinting mit
einstellbaren Parametern, Kerningeditor, globales Strecken, Kursivieren,
Verschieben oder Spiegeln von Zeichen oder die Möglichkeit, Bitmap-Grafiken
in den Hintergrund zum optimalen Nachzeichnen zu stellen, zeigen rasch,
das hier ein Programm vorliegt, das in seinem Einsatzspektrum auf der Stufe
aller hochentwickelter Font-Editoren steht.«
(Free translation: "Auto kerning, auto hinting with optional parameters, a kerning editor, globale stretching, italicisation, moving or morroring of characters and the possibility to use bitmap graphics in the background for optimal drawing, quickly shows that it is a program, which is on the same level as all the other high-developed font editors."
- Alfred Görgens, Layout
