So easy my 4 year old made a font
Love the app. Great fun. My four year old seriously made his own font in about 10 minutes. Would love to see a few more font styles in the example fonts to use as templates - especially a good script font. Wishing for a way to erase a portion of a line and adjust the kerning after a letter (i.e. when a swirl or flourish goes to the right of a letter, the spacing appears off - haven't figured out a way to compensate).
Awesome Type Design Tool
This is by far the most-used app on my iPad! For type design geeks such as myself, it's a huge time saver in the initial design stage. The iPad with iFontMaker is a nearly perfect tool for quickly capturing the designer's ideas. My only suggestion would be the ability to scale the drawing area down without altering the font metrics...in other words, the drawing area is actually *too large* to most accurately capture hand-drawn forms when drawn at handwriting-sized levels. This is obviously a huge advantage when fine-tuning the type paths, but for the initial design process, it causes the designer to have to draw about 50-60% larger than they normally would.
As another review mentioned, having more type example choices would be great, possibly by means of importing a font via Dropbox. I think this would be a very minor deal for most users.
My main use so far has been capturing input for basic font design ideas that have been running around in my head for years. The more involved editing tasks such as kerning are better handled on the desktop anyway. I actually see this as an advantage as I don't want to be doing those kinds of edits on a 10" screen.
At ten times the price, this app would still be my wisest iPad app choice so far. Very, very well done!
Amazing! Within a few minutes I created my first font!
Always wanted an application that would let me create fonts easily and with an intuitive interface, I hope this app doesn't change much because it is perfect as it is!
I already recommended it to my friends. FIVE STARS!
