Port Angeles, WA, USA -- Fontlab Ltd. announced today the release of BitFonter 3 for Mac OS X and Windows, a major new version of the company's professional bitmap font editor. BitFonter is a tool for creative professionals who wish to create and customize bitmap fonts or to turn artwork into full-fledged fonts. Since it seamlessly integrates with Fontlab's outline font editors (FontLab Studio 5 and TypeTool 3), BitFonter can also be used to convert bitmaps into outline fonts or vice versa. In the words of Fontlab Ltd.'s president Ted Harrison: "Most desktop operating systems (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux) use outline fonts in Type 1, TrueType and OpenType formats. Outline fonts can be scaled to any size but in very small sizes and low resolutions, they may not be very legible. In bitmap fonts, the designer can control the precise positioning of each pixel, which is why bitmap fonts are popular on low-resolution devices such as portable communication devices, PDAs, mobile phones, LED...

Tangerine! lets you create playlists of upbeat songs, or playlists for relaxing by analyzing the tempo and the beat intensity of music.

Thus, the idea for Tangerine! was conjured up when the developer realized that he was spending more time picking out workout songs than actually working out. Frustrated with having to listen to the same songs over and over again in a manually created playlist or skipping and fumbling over mood-ruining songs in a shuffled playlist, he decided to scratch his own itch and develop a software to solve the problem once and for all...
