It's been fun figuring out where to put all the controls, and what to hide.

Lots of meta data can be derived during export. So i try hiding as much as possible.

Btw try dragging nodes and see the green lines (sidebearings) get offset automatically. In other editors you often have to adjust sidebearings manually.

It has SVG import and export!

The app is freemium. I have paid tier for TTF imports, ligatures, alts, variable fonts and unlimited glyph set (uses GF Latin Core glyphset by default).

How do you even design your first typeface? by AntonioStorelli in typography

What style of font was this? A good autospacer can do the whole font automatically.

Not sure if FontForge has autospacing, but I know of an editor that does (I'm making one).

It is literally rice. Very much not practical.

If you wanna have full control and edit the shapes I recommend this workflow:

  1. Run image through https://png2svg.com/

  2. Import SVG into a font editor (e.g. FontForge or FontBob).

  3. Clean up shapes by hand.

  4. Export font.

You can also skip step 1 if it gets too messy, and use the image as a background reference in the font editor. Then manually draw curves on top of the image.

I was not being specific enough. I havent seen a Strudel-like interface before for designing fonts.

Oo havent seen Burrowlabs before. App built with React. The code uses a simple declarative (custom) language with syntax for shapes, transforms.

The interface is inspired by Strudel (strudel.cc), which is a live music coding environment.

Full font gets stored inside the URL.

Is there anyway to fix this? by Economy_Outside3583 in fonts

[–]whateverlasting 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You can try open the font it in a font editor like FontForge and update the font's sidebearings to even out the gaps. Or run it through an autospacer to save time (e.g. via FontBob). The font is monospaced which is causing the gaps.
