Press Release Body = De Bilt, Utrecht July 19, 2007 -- High-Logic has released
FontCreator 5.6, a full-featured font editor for Windows that lets you easily create
and modify TrueType and OpenType fonts. In addition to enhancing individual
characters or entire fonts, you can turn signatures, handwriting, logos, or any
images into font characters.

The program\'s intuitive interface lets hobbyists and professionals add new
characters, or create entirely new fonts. FontCreator displays thumbnails of all of
the glyphs found in the selected font. Simply select a character, and modify its
appearance. Use FontCreator to correct fonts that display incorrectly. You can even
edit and correct font names and mappings. FontCreator gives you complete control
over kerning of glyph pairs. Before installing a new font, the program lets you
preview your handiwork.

New features in version 5.6 include improved generation of composites (allowing you
to automatically generate outlines for more than 2,000 characters), enhanced
transformation scripts that let you create hundreds of additional characters in
seconds, significant revisions to the manual kerning process, and much more.

The Professional Edition of FontCreator contains features that will benefit
typographers, graphic designers, font foundries, and power-users. The program\'s
batch transformation operations let you transform an entire set of characters into
something as simple as a bold, italic, hollow, or condensed font, or as complex as
your imagination will allow. There are four contour operations that allow you to
merge and split overlapping contours. With the Professional Edition, you can quickly
add diacritical marks to characters, perform automatic kerning, and insert
characters into your fonts. The Professional Edition\'s real-time validation features
keeps you from making common mistakes.

Whether you\'re a business person who wants to make company artwork available with a
single keystroke, a home user who wants to express your creativity by designing
distinctive fonts, or a type designer or graphic artist who needs a powerful
application to meet your clients\' demanding needs, FontCreator has the tools that
you need.

FontCreator runs under Windows Vista/XP/2003/2000/NT4/Me/98/95, costs $149(US) for a
single-user license of the Professional Edition, and may be ordered securely online.
The Home Edition costs $79. Multi-user discounts and software bundles are available.
