FontRedate software modifies internal dates in OpenType, PostScript, and TrueType font files. The application reads and alters the dates with ease.
FontRedate is a Java 1.4 application designed to help users read internal dates from OpenType, PostScript, or TrueType font files. With FontRedate, users can also change the file modification dates to match. One important thing to keep in mind is that the file contents will not be modified; FontRedate only updates the date in the system file directory.
Users should note that internal font dates may or may not be accurate. Many fonts are created and later edited without setting the date properly. Additionally, time differences may exist based on the user's time zone. Generally, FontRedate's time output will agree with what the Microsoft Font Properties Extension shows in its Version tab for OTF/TTC/TTF files. Please note that the time output may be adjusted for daylight saving time.
For additional information on how to use FontRedate, please consult the PDF documentation included in the ZIP file. Finally, it's worth noting that this program is released under the GNU General Public License.
