Editor's review

Creatively placed text always attracts attention. As schoolchildren, we always had our scrapbooks decorated and designed vividly with lots of colors and nice looking and stylish fonts by which we wrote various projects and homework. Even today, with the help of computers we have lots of fonts and jazzy looking and artistic writing styles by the means of which we can enhance several of our web based procedures like advertising and article writing in lots of colors and fonts. Even in websites, we have text placed in diverse forms and designs that is conceptualized by web designers who create the web pages and decide the aesthetics. FontCreator Home Edition 5.6 is a related application that helps in creating and editing fonts in different styles that can be mastered by anybody.

FontCreator Home Edition opens with a neatly arranged interface with the main options placed at the top pane and multiple controls available for measuring and creating fonts with diverse styles that help in skewing, stretching and performing many other procedures for creating the font. The program contains powerful font creation tools that typographers and graphic designers use and even novices can effectively navigate through. When a specific font is created, the program displays thumbnails of all the characters that are available and the user just needs to select one and work on it. Alternatively, the program also supports importing imagery and can even help in creating a font on a particular handwriting. Further, it also provides previews before installing and fixes character mapping and improvise the quality of fonts created.

As per the aforesaid details, FontCreator Home Edition 5.6 is an application that holds utility for lot of people that include professional designers and even students for any project work. However, owing to negative feedback, it manages to earn a rating of three points only.

I don`t like Fon`t creator, because unless you buy it, you can`t "save a font, test a font, install a font, extract true type collections"


so, why would someone want the stupid free trial they are giving if you can`t do any of that, it would be a waste a time, so i will NEVER buy it from them!!!!

I think if your giving a free trial, you should let us save and install and test a font, that way we get the idea of what we have to do to make it happen, bc i`m sure there are other ppl out there that don`t want to buy it, but then can`t use it because of the SO limited things you can do....
