Integrated ScanFont
You’ve made your drawings somewhere else? No problem.

Arrange them on the Sketchboard, optionally turn bitmaps into smooth vector graphics using autotrace, then automatically assign the letterforms to glyphs to create a fully working font in a few minutes. No need for a separate ScanFont app!
-
Sketchboard
Our Sketchboard is a a virtual desk or canvas that allows you to draw and experiment outside of any glyph. It’s great for collecting sketches, separating artwork into glyph images, or just drawing logos and symbols using all of FontLab’s juicy Bézier magic. You can also arrange text frames showing different fonts you’re working on, and export the contents into a PDF or SVG for proofing.
-
Pixel-savvy
Drag-drop or copy-paste pixel images in most formats, with mono, grayscale, full color and transparency support. Improved Split and autotrace or place the images into the img layer for reference to draw over them. Rotate and scale imported graphics, crop, blur, remove noise and background.
-
For design space explorers
A font family consists of fonts that have different locations on one or more design space Axes, such as width, weight, slant or optical size. To create interpolated instances or a variable OpenType (TT or new CFF2) font from one or more Font masters, use Font Info to add the axes and assign axis locations for all font masters within your FontLab font.
-
In an instance
Easily plan your Instances for an extensive font family or a variable font. With axis instances, define per-axis interpolation locations and style phrases, and FontLab will automatically build a matrix of all instances for all axes, with correct Style names and Style groups.

On November 30, 2019, FontLab Crack released its seventh update (FontLab 8). While FontLab was the industry standard, for typeface design, for a long time it has been losing popularity. Many type designers prefer the user-friendliness, and customer service of Glyphs App, while others prefer the customizability of RoboFont. In the latest update of FontLab usability and the overall design has been greatly improved.
Before testing FontLab 8 Crack I had not used the software since FontLab 5. Above all, As a beginner trying to learn on FontLab it was difficult and clunky to use. I have since used RoboFont and GlyphsApp, the latter being my go-to app. To review FontLab I used the free 30 day trial.
First Impression
On start up of FontLab 8 I instantly felt comfortable because the app resembles the interface of most Adobe apps, and the interface is similar to GlyphsApp. The first thing that appears is a new project window (similar to Adobe’s), which is a great indication that the app is running, and something that I have always disliked about Glyphs App (there is no start up screen).
In the future it would be nice to have the option to select the scripts in the project, instead of it just assuming Latin. (This happens in all 3 industry standard apps). Typeface designer and design writer Renée Clark puts it well when she says: “The Latin default setting in type design software assumes a lot about design flow and type design itself.” Allowing typeface designers to choose which script(s) they will be working from the outset is a step forward in removing the Latin script bias.
Once a new project has been created a screen summarizing all of the glyphs in your font appears. The latin script with punctuation and diacritics are automatically created. On the left are a series of drop downs which show the glyphs that have been created/drawn. Bellow that there are options to add the characters for “Latin” “Cyrillic” and “Greek”. It takes a bit of digging to realize that FontLab does support other scripts. These can be accessed by clicking on “Encoding” at the top of the screen and changing it to scripts. This allows you to select an already existing glyphs set and import them into the work screen. While it is a roundabout way to add non-latin characters, it is an improvement over previous versions of FontLab which had almost no support for non-Latin scripts.
Features of FontLab
When starting a new typeface I typically start out from a sketch, drawing, or scan as reference. I am used to the easy drag and drop in Glyphs App, which automatically puts the reference image in the background. When you drop an image in FontLab 8 it shows up in the foreground. After a series of google searches, reading, and watching youtube videos (the FontLab help tutorials and support leaves much to be desired, more on this later) I discovered that you need to create a layer mask with the image in it for it to not appear. Furthermore, This can be done through the simple keyboard command cmd + m. The fix for this issue was simple, unfortunately it took a lot of time to figure it out.
Where FontLab really shines is when it comes to the pen tool. The Rapid Pen Tool is my new favorite tool, and I would like to use it in all of my products. The rapid pen tool allows you to click where you would normally put down points but when you double click it creates a curve and a single click is a square corner. The tool isn’t perfect but it is a fast and efficient way to draw letters which can then be refined by hand.
