    A very easy to understand and intuitive editor, i find the actual editing features a lot easier to use than in fontforge, so if you need to have something done fast this editor is great! I used this editor to work on a color font, which fontforge sadly doesnt support, and although FontCreator isnt free, i think the price is quite worth the extra features and convenience

    I have been using FontCreator since 2018, and it remains the most intuitive font editor I’ve ever used. As a designer who often works on complex script fonts with high node counts, I’m constantly impressed by how smoothly the software handles intricate designs without needing a high-end computer. The one-time purchase model is incredibly worth it, and the active community forum along with the highly responsive support team makes it a 10/10 experience.

    The best software of it's kind! Very easy to use and pretty much all features you can dream of. A default dark mode is all I could want more. I have used it for game development and it also exports in any format you might need.

I am not a professional, but FontCreator has been very good for my tasks. By far it has the best interface with a very convenient set of functions that are easy to grasp. By now it's been several years since I've started using it and it really feels like the best tool for any font-related tasks. The developers are also really nice and offer all the support any client would require in casy of any troubles with the software. I recommend the FontCreator to anybody who needs an easy but powerful tool for working with fonts.

I am professional font developer since 2018. I have been using Font Creator ever since, in short, excellent software. An easy-to-use software for both beginners and professionals. Unlike other software, OpenType doesn't need to use separate software, it can be tested very easily during development time. I highly recommend FontCreator. Thank you.

I'm a font hobbyist. As a retired engineer, I find FontCreator an optimal choice for price and versatility. It's sufficiently intuitive that anyone who's reasonably computer-literate can jump in readily. Also, I find the level of precision satisfying: e.g., it permits rigorous construction of tangents, drawing conic sections, etc. for the style of fonts I like.

FontCreator had been my first choice for getting started in no time and producing satisfactory results. I had tried FontForge before but paying the price for FontCreator was really worth every penny. You can create from scratch or convert any normal Black and white Fonts to color fonts easily. Maybe FontCreator is the first choice Font software for anyone who wants to get started developing color fonts that too with multiple palettes. This software just makes things easy and quick. Loved it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
