ABOUT

Softy

Softy is a free truetype font editor for Windows written by the late David J. Emmett. The program resided here for a long time, but that site, managed by Dave's wife, L. Emmett, seems to have gone, and was replaced by the new URL at MASSMind, where one can also request updates past the latest version, 1.07b that provide enhancements and bug fixes. Alternate URL. This 25USD shareware truetype and bitmap font editor has all the basic tools necessary for both modifying an existing font and creating one from scratch. Among them glyph and contour copying and mapping, inserting points to curves, changing straight lines to curves, and changing font characteristics. It can also edit/generate fonts with characters with the unicode numbers higher than the basic western Latin table. System: Windows 3.x or Win95. Bitmaps supported: windows FON, FNT, LaserJet SFP, SFL. Download sites: 1, 2, 3 (version 1.05!!!), 4, 5, 6. Tutorials: Grumpy, BTTF, Angela Cable from Rock Springs, WY.
