Dr Fonty

Dr Fonty is an enthusiasts version of FontFiend (our professional font editor). However Dr Fonty has a number of additions including routines that prevent a font with damaged scaffolding being saved out by the user. Dr Fonty's many features include:
  • On line illustrated manual that can be printed with any Risc OS printer driver.
  • Supports interactive help.
  • Both global font and individual character button bars.
