It allows for even more precision when you want to refine your glyph outline. In addition to this, it now also supports a mask, which is basically a vector-based background. The Glyph panel always allowed you to show a background image, which is useful if you want to trace an outline. This allows you to share your (variable) font projects with other font designers in case they use another font editor. With variable font support we also made sure FontCreator can import and export a Designspace document along with Unified Font Objects. The good old Font Properties dialog is turned into a panel, which makes editing font properties more convenient. The comparison tool dialog has been replaced by a Text Tool feature within the Glyph panel. This change also allowed us to add support for themes, so you can now switch to a dark theme. Our font manager MainType also makes use of these panels, so you are probably already familiar with this layout. Right out of the box amazing! Dockable Panelsįor more than 20 years FontCreator used floating tool windows, but it was time to replace those with dockable panels.

For most fonts this is sufficient, but no worries, as with one click you can test your font in external software and even in a web browser. The OpenType Designer comes with an interactive proofing tool, so you can instantly see how your input text is processed by our shaping engine, revealing all features and lookups that are applied.

Here is an online tutorial that should get you started: How to Make a Variable FontįontCreator is a “what you see is what you get” font editor, so you can proof and test your fonts while making changes at the same time. FontCreator allows you to easily combine your existing non-variable fonts into a new variable font as it comes with tools to locate and fix compatibility issues. The outlines need to be compatible, otherwise variations cannot interpolate.

In general, a variable font is a (subset) of a typeface, as it combines font styles into a single resource, but there is one catch.

A variable font contains one or more axes (like weight or width) which allow a continuous range of style variations.
