My company specialise in packaging artworks, using Adobe Illustrator.

We have used Fontographer in the past (for creating different Country identifier logos – ie GB / ES / TR etc; plus a number of other symbols.

However, through one reason or another –mainly because the software we had was very, very old – we don’t have access to the software any more. So we wondering about alternatives to Fontographer. I have seen something called FONTSELF, it appears to be very cheap compared with investing in a later version of Fontographer.

Would I be correct in saying that Fontself performs in a similar way to Fontographer?

    You can create fully functioning fonts with Fontself.

    It has options to make spacing and kerning. Also Alternate Glyphs, Ligatures, color fonts and it can make families.

    You can watch my tutorial to see the functions: Making of my font »GeometricColor« with Fontself and Illustrator - YouTube

    If you need much more than that you need a font editor such as Fontographer, Glyphs App or the like.
