In version 5.2 (available for both Mac OS X and Windows), we made Fontographer even easier to use: without specialized knowledge about font formats and font technology, any FOG user is able to create professional-quality fonts.
The secret behind this is our own unparalleled font technology know-how? The mature FontLab Studio engine, combined with brand-new sophisticated algorithms, provides the technical underpinnings for the new Fontographer 5. In fact, FOG 5 is even able to read and export FontLab VFB files, so exchanging documents between different font editors is easy!
Looks smooth, rocks hard
While FontLab Fontographer 4.7 was a small improvement over version 4.1, version 5.2 is a major overhaul of the product. Weve remained close to the Fontographer spirit yet brought the improvements necessary for a modern font creator in the 21st century.
Our work on Fontographer 5 was like a restoration of a classic car. Weve kept the familiar, elegant body that users love, giving it just a subtle facelift. And then weve replaced the old inefficient engine by modern cutting-edge technology.
