- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Re the review below, not so! Using the fully functional demo, which watermarks half the glyphs, I was able to make a font from an 80s vintage typewriter/printer font, which is very thin and tall. My recommendation is to use a very high quality scan (1200 dpi) and fiddle with the scale once loaded into FontLab. These are simply the two best font creation apps out there for Mac, worth every penny, but wish they were cheaper nonetheless. $50 and I'm yours. A little crashy when exporting from huge (80MB) tiff files, and unable to scan from inside the app.
