I know a rather old program - it is Softy from David Emmett. Unfortunately he died some years ago. Softy is basically both a truetype and a pixel font designer.

The moon font in the pdf document looks very good. The chronicle007 looks good, too, it is an interesting font with extreme heights. On my screen it looks clear.

Hi, I created a relatively thin font. On a CRT, with Windows NT, it looks relatively good with grayscale option. When I switch off the gray scale, there are a lot of drop outs. Printed with 600 dpi, it looks fine. When I display it on a Flatscreen, Windows XP home, there are a lot of drop outs, even...

Hi,

when I create a new font, it contains as Verndor "HL".
Is this ok? Can I use this?
Or are there any problems?

Join Contures is the feature, I missed in earlier versions. I like it very much. It convinced me to update my earlier version. It is really a good work. Best regards Bernd PS: Unfortunately, the payment does not seem to accept my Maestro-Card. So it will take me until I have access to my credit card...

Hi,
