Type font editor is a program for Windows intended to help users create and modify OpenType fonts, namely TrueType and PostScript. Despite the fact that it comes equipped with many tools, the graphical interface is both clean and straightforward.
Functionality
The software allows you to create a new project from scratch or import data from TTF, TTC, or OTF file format for editing the current content. It is also possible to pick the font type and provide details about the family name, subfamily, full name, and copyright.
You are able to select a wide array of Unicode characters, insert rectangles, circles, and lines, as well as use multiple drawing instruments, such as pen, glue, and ruler. Furthermore, you have the option to rotate, skew, or stretch the graphics components, pick a color for the chosen glyph, perform search, and more.
Advanced editing
The utility gives you the means to undo and redo your actions, performing basic editing operations, and insert a background image in JPG, GIF, PSD, PNG format. You can also use the auto-tracer for producing graphs by cropping certain regions, and adjust the black and white thresholds.
Other notable features are represented by the possibility to import vector graphics from SVG files, check the glyph info, preview text, and build custom actions scripts. In case you need to integrate icons into your web project, you may try a free compilation called Font Awesome.
