FontFlasher converts standard fonts to clear web pixelfonts for improved online readability.
One of the main advantages of using FontFlasher is that it allows you to create pixelfonts that look great even at small sizes. While Macromedia Flash supports TrueType fonts, these fonts can look fuzzy when used in smaller sizes. However, FontFlasher creates crisp outline fonts that simulate bitmaps, which can significantly improve the legibility of screen text in small font sizes.
FontFlasher supports a wide range of import formats, including TrueType, Type 1, OpenType, and bitmap formats. It can convert almost any format font into a pixelfont that is compatible with Macromedia Flash. The software exports fonts in FontLab VFB format, which can be used to generate font files in TrueType or Type 1 format using FontLab or TypeTool.
While the demo version of FontFlasher processes only some of the characters in the font, the full version offers many additional features and capabilities. FontFlasher requires Mac OS 9.2+ with CarbonLib 1.6+ or Mac OS X 10.3 or higher to operate. In order to generate TrueType pixel fonts from the VFB files that FontFlasher creates, you will need FontLab, AsiaFont Studio, or TypeTool. To edit the pixel fonts using the Pixel tool, you need FontLab or AsiaFont Studio with Python installed.
Overall, FontFlasher is a great solution for anyone who needs to create high-quality pixelfonts for use in Macromedia Flash. With its wide range of features and capabilities, FontFlasher is an excellent choice for designers and developers who demand the highest level of quality and performance from their font creation tools.
