What is Macromedia Fontographer 4.1.4?

Fontographer makes it easy to create new typefaces or add your logo to existing typefaces. Fontographer’s drawing tools help you create a professional-quality character in minutes and print that character on any PostScript or TrueType compatible printer. Now, with Fontographer and your personal computer, you can create designs that rival those produced by professional typographers.

Fontographer 4.1 generates ATM-compatible Type 1 fonts, as well as Type 3 PostScript fonts, TrueType fonts, PICTs and multiple masters on the Macintosh, and Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files. You can import EPS files directly, and use their outlines in the drawing window. You can also use metrics information from a variety of sources, and export information to those sources as well. Additionally, you can import kerning tables from Adobe Font Metrics (AFM) and other files. You can also take advantage of the PostScript graphics you create in Macromedia FreeHand and Adobe Illustrator by pasting them directly into your characters. Many dialog boxes in the program give you two options: Easy and Advanced mode—letting you have total control of the program if you want it, or allowing you to rely on its simple and automatic settings.
