Fontographer 5 on the way

I started Type design with Freehand 7.0 and Fontographer 3.5. As far as I can remember, the Interface from Fontographer is simple.

What news

* OSX natively (universal binary)
* UFO support (UFOs to the FDK)
* Easy-mode for Font Family Name (Fontlab extra complicated)
* Up-to-date OpenType (Adobe SDK)
* Simplicity and powerfully

Conclusion

Personally, I don’t care about scripting and I already digged in Python and Robofab, but it sound promising in theory. So I have to wait how it will meet the test and Fontlab 6 will go. Finally, the price is important, ’cause I don’t have much money.
