FontLab released ScanFont 4 for the Macintosh yesterday – a tool that allows you to import scanned images of letterforms, break them into glyphs, auto-trace them and import them directly into FontLab or TypeTool. It import vector files as well, for example Illustrator or PDFs. Great for those who like drawing in Illustrator. I tried the demo and it works like a charm.

It may, at larger sizes look like some sort of code or a bunch of dots and dashes, but when viewed at smaller sizes it falls together into legible words.” (Thanks to James Grieshaber of TypeCo.)Erik Spiekermann has just been awarded the third Gerrit Noordzij Prize, an biennial award given to designers who has played an important role in the field of type design and typography. It is an initiative of the postgraduate course in Type & Media at the Royal Academy of Art and the Meermanno Museum, The Hague. Spiekermann is a founding partner of FontShop International, designer behind the popular FF Meta and ITC Officina typefaces. 7/30/2003 03:22:00 AM (0) comments Powered by Blogger
