FreeType: The Free TrueType Font Engine
"The FreeType engine is a free and portable TrueType font rendering engine. It has been developed to provide TT support to a great variety of platforms and environments. Notice that FreeType is a *library*. It is *not* a font server for your preferred environment, even though it was designed to allow the design of many font servers. To our knowledge, this is the only royalty-free complete TrueType engine available. Moreover, its quality fully matches these of Windows or the Macintosh, a thing that cannot be said for most other commercial engines available. FreeType is a clean-room implementation that is not derived from the original TrueType engine developed by Apple and Microsoft. It has been created with the sole help of the published TrueType specifications, which to our great surprise and pain turned out to be extremely poor or misleading in critical areas. Much hard work has been undertaken to solve numerous ambiguities; its end result is a portable, fast quality renderer!" |

SigMaker
"Yuri Yarmola writes: Use it to add your signature, company logo or any other symbol (Euro symbol, for example) into any TrueType font installed in your system. SigMaker includes autotracer, so it can accept bitmap images (TIFF or BMP) as well as EPS outlines. This version works for 14 days and allows to export up to 3 fonts. Online register/purchase module comes with the program. The software is part of FontLab." |
