At just $99, FontLab’s TypeTool 3 is an affordable, simple and easy-to-use font editor for TrueType, PostScript Type 1, and OpenType fonts. Because it’s based on FontLab’s professional fontmaking technologies, it’s also extremely capable and professional.
With it, you can:
- Convert fonts from PostScript (Type 1) to TrueType and back
- Convert fonts from Mac to Windows and back
- Build new fonts from EPS files — great for dingbats, logos and signatures!
- Draw new characters
- Copy characters from other fonts
- Copy/paste from Adobe Illustrator
- Print font reference tables
- Assign characters to new keyboard positions
- Automatically fix fonts whose characters print strangely or won’t print at all
- Export characters in EPS format
- Automatically kern and hint an entire font
TypeTool is perfectly suited for 99% of a graphic designer’s needs, at a fraction of the cost of Fontographer or FontLab Studio. I consider it an essential part of a professional graphic design toolbox.

Yes, i fully agree. I buyed it in a bundle with ScanFont. Both apps are great, using it almost every day for adding carons etc. to my fonts collections.
