TypeTool is a simplified tool used for editing and creating fonts.
If you're in need of quick and simple font editing, TypeTool is the software for you. This basic font editor is ideal for small jobs, such as accent and kerning pair adjustment. But don't let its simplicity fool you - TypeTool comes packed with features to help you create and modify fonts with ease.
Some of the key features in TypeTool include the ability to create new fonts, add ligatures, old style figures, fractions, currency symbols, and foreign characters. You can also use the software to create your own dingbat or clipart fonts, make font variations with the new transformation tools, and print font reference tables.
With TypeTool, you can rearrange and rename your font's characters, make custom end-of-story markers for your newsletter, and even convert fonts between Adobe Type 1 and TrueType formats. The software also supports editing fonts with up to 65,000 glyphs with support for 2-byte encodings, as well as a special Font Map window for large fonts.
While TypeTool does add an FL logo to some characters on export, this is a small limitation in an otherwise powerful software. The latest release of TypeTool, version 3 released in March 2007, includes support for OpenType fonts with up to 65,000 glyphs, Unicode 5.0 support, new bitmap Background and outline Mask layers, and improved Bezier drawing.
Overall, TypeTool is an excellent choice for those in need of a basic font editor with advanced features. Its user-friendly interface and powerful tools make it a must-have for designers and typographers alike.
