Admittedly, most font software out there are 300 USD and above, what are some of your favorites and why?

I myself am testingout BirdFont, the commercial version. There seems to be a strobing effect inside the program and it looks annoying.

There isn't a clear way to save the projects as OTF or TTF as there is in Glyph.




Thanks.

This has been discussed many times over. Do a search.

Glyph is a software unsympathetic.

I love ScanFont 3, from FontLab, but they don't sell it anymore, it doesn't work with Windows Operating Systems more recent than XP, and some windows automatic update from February, 2014 caused it to stop working, so I had to get another computer with XP, that isn't connected to the Internet, to continue my work.

ScanFont 3 has nothing in common with ScanFont 5, currently sold. SF3 is a stand alone .ttf editor. SF5 is a plug-in for FontLab Studio.

My procedure is much different from most other designers. I work with imported monochrome bitmaps. I have several fonr editing programs, but I use ScanFont 3 for almost everything, other than adjustments to vertical metrics, or changing embedding settings.

OP is a Mac. Is there a Mac version?

ScanFont 5 + TypeTool 3 bundle for Mac US $67.00
