• Fine tuning with keyboard.
• Option/Shift click to select multiple items.
• Flip Horizontally and Vertically
• Better knob selection, it is often hard to grab a knob to adjust paths. The work around is to zoom in and selection gets better.
• Quick shapes/paths (like ovals, rectangles et cetera that are ready to insert and manipulate).
• Custom ruler/s guides that appear both globally and on certain glyphs.
• Ruler (like in Pages or Adobe products) that allows you to see the metrics easier.
• More refined grid (maybe add sub grids so you can better see the metrics between spaces.
"Install iOS Font" doesn't do anything
Unfortunately I am unable to use the installed font in any app because the button simply does not do anything.
Buggy, unstable
This is by far the buggiest app I have used in a very, very long time. It crashes with annoying regularity and is completely useless as I am unable to create a new document or even view past ones that I’ve created.
Update of the missing letters
Update:
The letters in English appears ok, but when I change the shape it doesn’t appear.
The only letters that don’t appear is the “H h” and “@“
updated, now it crashes on opening
cannot use this app anymore after the update, it starts to open, flashes the screen with my fonts and then just crashes. I have rebooted iOS several times with the same result. i don’t want to delete the app and lose my fonts - it says it will delete the data and the app. DO NOT UPDATE
Great app for creating rough drafts
While this is a perfectly useful app for creating a complete font file, in my opinion its greatest strength is in letting you easily create excellent rough drafts of handwritten fonts. I’m able to easily sketch out, modify, and perfect each glyph using my Apple pencil, which helps the authentic look of this style of font. Then I can easily export it as a font file and bring it into a desktop application like FontLab to do the kerning and ligatures.
I have tried out the kerning options in the app and they work fine. If you’re just doing a one-off font or two, go ahead and finalize it in the app.
But if you’re more of a regular font designer, I think this is a great app for that first design stage.
My only request would be to add in customizable pen shapes. I’d evn pay extra for that feature!
Fantastic but needs improvements!
I can honestly say I adore this app. I have been working hard in it. I love the ease of use but there are some minor things the developer could add to really make this app sing. Simple things such as an eraser, a fill option, a snap option that can be turned on and off and so on.
It’s the little things that will make this tool explode. I’m so grateful for it even at its most basic stage and look forward to new developments!
Pencil sensitivity would make this app perfect
Please add it.
Pan
Congrats on a promising app.
Here are some things that bug me / i miss:
When I zoom in the glyph ends up off to the side of the screen, two finger panning would be great. So pan+zoom in the same gesture, like pretty much all ipad graphics apps do.
Decent line preview - i don’t really know what I am drawing without it.
Hiding the preview background might be more intuative, like an always-visible on/off toggle?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It’s a pretty good app, simple to use with a good amount of features. The only real problem that I have is that I literally can’t paste the ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) face into kerning in any way or the app will automatically crash. It is physically unable to handle it. Admittedly it is pretty funny, but I wish it would stop crashing.
