FontLab 7

FontLab 7 is a professional font editor that will support all major outline font formats including Type 1, TrueType, OpenType and Multi Master. This app has been developed for professional users such as designers and typists. It provides you with a user-friendly environment to customize how every symbol in a font looks like.

With FontLab, you can correct curves precisely without zooming (Cmd / Ctrl + drag), improve weight consistency (thickness measurement, uneven trunk balance), quickly create deep k layers (now also on both sides).

FontLab fully supports changing fonts. You can open and export both CFF2- and TrueType VF, with intermediate glyph masters and conditional glyph replacement, avar axis mapping and STAT axis cases. You can view multiple owners at the same time (as grid overlays and are cousins on either side) and edit them (Edit on Layers, Match when Editing).

FontLab now understands how to name glyph from other font editors and can automatically create OpenType features based on different glyph naming schemes (also easy to rename glyphs!).
