FTMaster

Altsoft FTMaster (Font Type Master) is a powerful software application designed for font designing, editing and converting. It is completely based on the Altsoft FTMBase .NET API, which provides a comprehensive set of classes and methods dealing with a variety of modern font formats.

One of the main features of Altsoft FTMaster is its ability to view and edit various font data. Users can quickly and easily view and change font information presented in four basic categories: encodings, glyphs, names and metrics. This feature is essential for font designers who need to make changes to their font designs.

Another important feature of Altsoft FTMaster is its ability to convert between font formats. Fonts can be converted with minimal loss of information by means of FTM saving capabilities. This ensures that the converted fonts retain all of their original design elements.

The software also provides convenient and versatile glyph editing tools, which allow users to edit the graphical representation of font glyphs. It includes tools for adding and deleting outlines, transforming curves or contours, cutting lines, changing components and more. These features provide users with a powerful toolset for editing glyph appearance.

Additionally, Altsoft FTMaster allows users to generate instances of Multiple Master fonts. This means that any PS Type1 or CFF Type2 font instance can be generated with the specified parameters from a given Multiple Master font. This feature is particularly useful for font designers who need to create fonts with varying weights and styles.

Other features of Altsoft FTMaster include the ability to extract fonts from PDF files, generate Adobe Font Metrics files, create new font files, generate font preview and more. The Font Renamer tool is also natively embedded into the software and allows users to batch rename fonts to match their specific needs.

Altsoft FTMaster supports a wide range of font formats including Type1, Type2, Type42, TrueType, OpenType, CID-based fonts and Multiple Master fonts. This ensures that users are able to work with all of the most commonly used font formats in the industry. Overall, Altsoft FTMaster is an essential software tool for font designers, editors and converters looking for a comprehensive solution to their font-related needs.
