Since FontCreator is a Windows-only application, not all font designers know it has many powerful features. In this presentation, Erwin Denissen will demonstrate how to use the OpenType Designer, along with feature code generation, proofing, and feature code compilers.
Within a few weeks, FontCreator 14 will be released with support for variable fonts. This session will reveal most of FontCreator’s new features and enhancements, giving a head start to designers who would like to create variable fonts using this robust tool.
