FontForge

• Website

• Description:
  • Vector font editor and converter (ps,TTF, ...).
  • Interesting feature that could be imported in inkscape: allow to modify curves by draging the curve itself.
  • (feature needed - an utility can be distributed with FontForge - an open .ttf viewer and printer like KeyTypeBook for MacOS Classic (7.0 to 9.6) )
  • (w32 MinGW version (instead of Cygwin) of FontForge is missing)
