I want to know the difference between FontCreator versions 14 and 15.
I didn’t realize I had to pay extra to upgrade.
I guess I’ll have to make an additional purchase to know the features of version 15.
You can look at the Changelogs.
- Elements → supports outlines with both components and contours, so called hybrid outlines
Redesigned Transform panel - Support for the GlyphsApp .glyphs file format
- Improved shaping engine
- Improved detection and fixing of interpolation issues
- Improved auto attach
- Improved optimize contour feature
- Improved join (union, intersection, exclusion, and also cut/knife) contours feature; including support for cubic curves
- Improved support for UFO and DesignSpaces
- Improved subsetting variable fonts
- Order axes
- Made optional mark attachment class for lookups obsolete (instead use a mark filtering set)
- Cancel changes in edit field (ESC key)
- Fixed remove overlap issue
- New transform feature to round xy coordinates
- Increased stability and some speed gains
- Several other bug fixes and improvements
I suggest asking about specific items in the list, if you want clarification.
