Clean up, Optimize, correct and simplify your contours with a variety of smart algorithms for perfect quality. Easily spot odd points and suspicious curves with FontAudit, our live outline custodian that will visually show you errors and possible issues in your glyphs, and sometimes even automatically fix them.

This way, you can quickly switch between related lettershapes and design them in a coordinated fashion. In FontLab 7, you can draw and edit many glyphs at once with our next-generation drawing tools: a live calligraphic Power Brush, an easy Rapid drawing tool, a live pathfinding Fill tool.

Edit your outlines faster with Power Nudge, slide node, G2 Genius nodes, revolutionary Tunni lines, live rounded corners. The powerful Metrics Window is a multiline text editor that allows you to comfortably test, space and kern your font. Set the left and right sidebearing and the advance width in the Metrics mode, and kern in the Kerning mode.

The table on the right and the panel on the bottom give you detailed numeric control over your metrics and kerning. Automatically or manually groups your glyphs by similar shape to create Classes.

Quickly copy sidebearings or widths from one glyph to all related glyphs with Class-based Metrics Assistance. With class-based Kerning, kern a glyph against a class of glyphs, or entire classes against each other. Less work, more efficient fonts, and more fun! FontLab 7 lets you space, kern, draw and edit glyphs in its unified windows. FontLab Studio 5 supports Multiple master font design.

With up to 3 design axes and 16 masters, you can create extensive font families that vary in weight, width or other aspects. The advanced Blend algorithm helps you turn standalone fonts into interpolable font families.

Extrapolation helps you create a black or a light style from a regular and a bold. FontLab Studio 5 supports encoding of any Unicode character.

The app has detailed data for all of Unicode 6, and allows you to add glyphs for all Unicode 10 codepoints including those beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane. With Components, you can create your base letters and diacritic accents once and assemble accented characters by attaching the components.

FontLab Studio 5 maintains a live link: one change in the design is reflected in all the composite characters. The app can smartly auto-generate over 2, accented characters from your components.

Draw open or closed lines and contours. In FontLab 7, everything is color-enabled. No problem. Arrange them on the Sketchboard, optionally turn bitmaps into smooth vector graphics using autotrace, then automatically assign the letterforms to glyphs to create a fully working font in a few minutes.

No need for a separate ScanFont app! Our Sketchboard is a a virtual desk or canvas that allows you to draw and experiment outside of any glyph. Drag-drop or copy-paste pixel images in most formats, with mono, grayscale, full color and transparency support.

Improved Split and autotrace or place the images into the img layer for reference to draw over them. Rotate and scale imported graphics, crop, blur, remove noise and background.

A font family consists of fonts that have different locations on one or more design space Axes , such as width, weight, slant or optical size. Use the Variations panel to preview and control the interpolation and extrapolation results. New Substitute a glyph with another one in parts of the design space.

Turn on Edit Across Layers to add, remove or edit nodes on all masters at once. Easily plan your Instances for an extensive font family or a variable font. With axis instances, define per-axis interpolation locations and style phrases, and FontLab will automatically build a matrix of all instances for all axes, with correct Style names and Style groups.

Thanks to our Variations engine based on MutatorMath, your Masters no longer need to stand in the MM corners, but can be placed freely within the design space.

Unlimited axes, intermediate font masters, glyph masters that affect only certain glyphs give you complete freedom in designing interpolable font families and variable OpenType fonts. FontLab 7 also uses intelligent interpolation in many other areas, including the rewind feature, power nudge, and servant points.

To create intermediate designs via interpolation, you need all your glyph masters to have the same number and geometric structure of contours and nodes.

FontLab can help you automatically match your masters by sorting contours, relocating start points and correcting path direction. This can happen on the fly, or permanently — with the Match Masters command, which can even blend between two really incompatible masters, intelligently adding nodes where needed.

If your masters are already point-perfect, you can disable the automation in Font Info or the Variations panel. Whether you have two, four, seven or a dozen masters, the improved Matchmaker tool helps you make their point structure compatible for interpolation.

Matchmaker works on Sections, which are sequences of line or curve segments. Select the start nodes of a section across all masters, then select the end nodes of the section and click — FontLab will add, remove or relocate intermediate nodes along the section in each master to create matching structures. Wait for the green light, then enjoy a smooth ride along your axes. Perform metrics and improved kerning editing in a multi-line Metrics Window , with an adjustable, distraction-free UI and intuitive keyboard shortcuts.

Easily switch between glyph input, drawing and spacing without changing your workspace. Link metrics and set up complex spacing relationships with our live math expressions engine.

Bind the sidebearings and they will remain constant—even when you change the outline. New Easily copy expressions between masters. Preview the Kerning Classes clouds as you kern and compare your decisions with live autokerning suggestions. New Find visual kerning collisions with Audit Kerning. Position Anchors manually or link their positions to other anchors or guides with math expressions.

Use Components to build accented letters or ligatures from other glyphs — the composite glyphs you create will inherit outlines, guides and anchors from the component sources.

Or turn on Auto layer, and the metrics and component positions in the composite glyph layer will always stay up-to-date.

Use Element References and the Gallery panel to re-use smaller pieces of the design across glyphs or even within the same glyph. Improved FontLab automatically assigns virtual tags to glyphs that are Latin or Cyrillic, have components or colors, are lowercase or have overshoots. All tags form classes and can be viewed with the new Classes panel. Just type. We can find glyphs by glyph name, Unicode character name, script, codepage, encoding, range — you name it.

FontLab also has improved friendly alternatives to standard glyph names built in. Use friendly names for development but export industry-standard fonts, with no added effort. New Batch-rename glyphs with a few clicks. Search for glyphs based on Unicode character names and Unicode scripts.
