Very Computer

Just got a notice from Macromedia announcing the latest upgrade to
Fontographer. (It's been a looong time since the last one). Anyone have hands
on experience with this version and willing to comment?

I've just checked out their web site... and it is 4.1 for Windows!
Upgrade price is $99. Think I'll upgrade my very old version 3.

Further info is at

Can Fontographer be used to create fonts from my own handwriting? I have
access to a scanner.

I saw a reference to an upgrade price of $99. How much is the full price? Are
there competitive upgrades, and if so what software qualifies?

Thanks,
Ron

Don't know about competitive upgrades but yes it can make a font out of
your handwriting. It takes a while but if you really want it it will do
the job.

I think if you scan in samples as eps or something, it should be able
to make a font out of it. You'll need to do some tweaking, though,
which makes me feel it would be easier and cheaper in the long run to
send your handwriting off to that mail order personalized fonts place.
They advertise in the major DTP magazines and software catalogues.
