Monthly FontForge Update: 20080330

Thursday, 3. April 2008, 21:04:24

, , , , , , , ,

A new monthly release of the powerful, cross platform font editor FontForge. Again a lot of Bugfixes, smaller improvements and new translations. Read the change log for details.
What I'm missing are news about the progress of the GTK port.

I'm not sure who to ask, but since you're on the subject of fonts, have you heard any news about a possible upcoming release of FontExplorer X for Windows? It's the only free professional font manager system I know of but, apart from a temporary release of a Beta version for Windows, it's only available for Mac. Or do you know of another font management system suitale for production-level use?

Sorry i'm not focused on software for Windows - as the title of the blog declares :smile:

I realize that, but I thought that someone outside the Windows milieu would know more about this particular application.

I can't find any pic about FontForgeGtk. May you have to ask at the mailing list:
