The Font Editor That Delivers
FontCreator is the only font editor that allows you to modify an existing font—no matter how advanced or complex—and still preserve all OpenType layout feature data. This ensures that every subtle detail of the original design remains intact, giving you full control without compromising quality.
Font Overview with Categories

Kerning
Powerful Transform Wizard
Both the standard and professional editions offer a robust transform wizard, simplifying the glyph transformation process with just a few clicks. Effortlessly add characters for other languages, small capitals, and beyond or transform your font to Italic or Bold.
OpenType Feature Proofing
Use FontCreator to debug OpenType layout features with the interactive proofing tool. It uses an advanced shaping engine which allows you to view, create, edit, and debug even the most complex fonts.
Optical Metrics
The optical metrics feature in the professional edition simplifies one of the most complex and time-consuming tasks in font design. It analyzes a set of the most common characters to find the best left and right side-bearings for each of these glyphs.
Complete Composites
The standard and professional edition allow intelligent generation of character outlines for more than 3000 (mostly accented) composite characters. It supports both composite data definitions and anchor based positioning.
