Fontographer 4.7 Supports Mac OS X
Fontographer 4.7 Supports Mac OS X
by , 8:20 AM EST, December 2nd, 2005
Fontlab's Fontographer 4.7, released on Monday, finally supports Mac OS X. The professional font design application also resolves several bug fixes, supports the Euro character, supports copy and paste compatibility with Freehand and Illustrator, and more.
Macromedia purchased Fontographer and released the final update, version 4.1.4, in 1996. The product, which only ran in Mac OS 8 and 9, has since collected dust on Macromedia's shelf, falling behind other font creation tools. Fontlab licensed it in May of 2005, and has since been working to update the application to run natively in Mac OS X.
Fontographer 4.7 is priced at US$349, with upgrades from any 4.x version costing $99.

I bought the update the same day I found out that it was available. I have not had a chance to do a lot with it, but just seeing it boot up without having to load classic was quite lovely. The interface is pretty much the same, and as far as I can tell Fontlab have not made any major changes. They fixed some bugs, added in the Euro and probably some under the covers stuff.
