There’s quite a bit! Once you learn the shortcuts though, they’re fairly redundant and can be removed.Īs for the spacing, the vertical lines define the white space that boarders the glyphs. You can see various tools above and to the right of the glyph table. Once glyphs are added, the grey stock image is replaced with an image of the glyph. Grey boxes indicate glyphs to be filled (mostly characters with diacritics, uncommon characters, and ligatures). There are video tutorials available, but for the most part they are quite… dated.

It would have been nice to have a brief digital booklet or tutorial explaining the notation, icons, and relationship between the editing software and glyph table. The zoom threshold is increased and the available tools make sense for a type editing software (more about that later).Īlthough TT is advertised as being a fairly intuitive software to pick up (presumably by experienced designers), I didn’t find this the case at first. The curves in TT appear to be more smooth simple than those in other vector editing software (Illustrator, InDesign, etc.). The image above is the Morris ampersand glyph opened in the TypeTool (TT) glyph editor. For more information you can visit Fontlab’s website. It is a product by Fontlab, the industry standard type design software and marketed as the “value priced font editor” and “basic font editor for hobby typographers”. So far my experience with TypeTool 3.1 has been very positive.
