FontLab 7 is our modern 64-bit Retina-ready font editor. This is a major upgrade to FontLab VI that brings a total of six years of development, and has been “battle-proven” in countless projects since the release of VI in 2017. It combines the best of FontLab Studio 5 and Fontographer 5, and adds support for many new aspects of font technology that have appeared recently, including variable and color OpenType fonts. We’ve spent over five years developing our new professional font editor: FontLab 7. Upgrade your classic font editor to FontLab 7 Our new apps ( FontLab 7, FontLab VI, TransType 4, FontLab Pad) work just fine on Catalina - just remember: when you run them for the first time, Ctrl+click the app icon and choose Open, then confirm.Īlso, all our apps work just fine on Windows, from Windows 7 (in some cases, even XP) all the way to Windows 10, and there is no sign of trouble in any near future. In this blog post, we’re discussing options that you have if you’d like to use Catalina. This means that you cannot natively run our classic font apps on macOS Catalina: FontLab Studio 5, Fontographer 5, TypeTool 3 and BitFonter 3. This version of macOS only runs apps that are 64-bit, and removes the ability to run 32-bit Mac apps.
