What was the first Bézier drawing program for Macintosh computers? Fontographer, created by Altsys in 1985. That’s two years before Adobe Illustrator and three years before Freehand. As Sandee Cohen of CreativePro.com writes, “Fontographer has a key place in the early history of Macintosh graphics software.”
In the 1990s, Altsys merged with Macromedia. In 1996, Macromedia released Fontographer 4.1.4 for Mac, the last official version of the Fontographer product for Mac. The development of the product went on hold.
In May 2005, Fontlab Ltd. acquired Fontographer from Macromedia and made the promise to its users to make the product compatible with Mac OS X and fix the most crucial bugs.
Just two months after taking over Fontographer, in July 2005, we have released FogLamp, our first own application to utilize the Fontographer technology. FogLamp converts Fontographer source files (.fog databases) into FontLab-compatible .vfb files. You can take your .fog project files into TransType or FontLab and turn them into professional-quality OpenType or TrueType fonts.
Just four months later, in November 2005, we fulfilled the promise given to our customers and delivered Fontographer 4.7. This is the first Fontographer ever to run natively in Mac OS X. It also brings some urgent bugfixes and necessary changes like adding support for the Euro character.

Fontographer 4.7 for Mac OS X (for Mac OS X 10.2 or higher) US $349.00 Fontographer 4.1.5 for Windows US $349.00

FontLab Studio 5.0 for Mac OS X US $649.00 FontLab Studio 5.0 for Windows US $649.00

ფასში განსხვავება მეტ-ნაკლებად ასახავს განსხვავებას ხარისხშიც და შესაძლებლობებშიც...
