What is Type light?

Type light

Type light is a really cool program that helps you create, edit, and convert OpenType fonts. This includes formats like TrueType (TTF) and PostScript (OTF). It's like having your own font studio right on your computer!

Create Fonts Easily

The interface looks a lot like graphic editing tools, making it super user-friendly. You can kick things off by setting up the metrics system, which can be either TrueType or PostScript. After that, you just fill in some basic info like family name, sub-family, full name, and copyright details.

Handy Drawing Tools

What’s great is the variety of drawing tools available. You’ve got pens for sketching out your designs, selection tools to pick what you want to work on, and options for smooth curves or straight corners. You can also draw shapes like lines, rectangles, ellipses, or even use a ruler for precision!

Edit Like a Pro

You can select specific character sets and create new glyphs that link to particular characters. Plus, it allows you to change grid sizes and preview fills while adjusting glyph metrics. Need more info? Just view the glyph info or flip those contours around!

More Features for Font Lovers

With Type light, you can also tweak point properties or rename your font whenever inspiration strikes! And if you make a mistake? No problem! You can undo or redo actions easily. In the Preferences area, choose how windows map (like code pages or Unicode scripts), disable row resizing if it bugs you, hide rulers for a cleaner look, or adjust point selection sensitivity.

User-Friendly Experience

This software supports keyboard shortcuts too! There’s even a help file if you need assistance. During our tests with moderate-to-high CPU use and system memory demands, everything ran smoothly without crashes or error alerts.

While Type light offers some fantastic tools for editing fonts, it's ideal for those who have some experience with similar software.
