• Anyone using Typeface Pro?

  I'm looking to weed out yearly subscription software in favor of paying one-time fees. Connect Fonts/Extensis Suitcase is now $100 a year. I like their new online search by style feature that searches your font library – but I can give that up. I'm looking at Typeface Pro https://typefaceapp.com/. Source: 7 months ago

• A collection of useful Mac Apps

  Typeface - Price: Free (one-time purchase of $60) Pretty powerful font manager for macOS. Source: 10 months ago

• How to organise all my typefaces

  I started using Typeface a while back. Very good software, the thing I love about it, I can preview fonts without loading them, can organize by foundry, style or whatever, comes in very handy when you have thousands of fonts to wade through. Source: about 1 year ago

• Apple, you are drowning us in system fonts you no longer let us manage…

  Yes I use a GREAT type management app to manage font collection. It's called Typeface and I would recommend all Mac users check it out. Super slimline and works great. I'm almost 50 so the dropdown has existed longer than the field you can type in so old habits die hard. I've gotten good at just typing now but an argument could be made that so many system fonts affects system performance. Not having all your fonts... Source: about 1 year ago

• Apple, you are drowning us in system fonts you no longer let us manage…

  I should have added, I too use Typeface and I LOVE IT! I try to spread the word that everyone should take a look at it, it even supports some auto activation for folks that like that.

• Looking for color font creator tools

  All I what I saw are premium software. The only software I found at the lowest price is (FontBird)[https://birdfont.org/] = $10. But I don't know, I downloaded the free version (which doesn't support color fonts) and it seems to me that the software is not maintained well or glitchy! Source: over 1 year ago

• How to create custom typeface for free

  FontForge is the best free font editor right now, although there are some others in development. A great place to start learning is to read the Design with FontForge ebook, which will quickly teach you a lot of the basics that can be applied no matter which font editing software you're using. If you're struggling with FontForge, you can also try BirdFont which is a bit simpler. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Key to my recent script (still working on it)

  Besides, for adding the ligatures I use Birdfont for Linux. Source: about 2 years ago

• Any open source alternative to fontforge?

  More seriously, not really. Well maybe you can try Birdfont but usually FontForge is regarded as the most complete free editor. Birdfont looks more simple so it might work for you, I don’t know much about it. Source: over 2 years ago
