Show your feelings for your reader and score some cuteness points at the same time by sprinkling adorable symbols of love throughout your closing.

The outside-the-box suggestions in this section can help you make your letter even more enticing. For example, you may want to consider leaving no name at all on your letter.

Easily spot odd points and suspicious curves with improved FontAudit , our live outline custodian. Find nearly flat curves and automatically convert them to lines.
Draw open or closed lines and contours. In FontLab 7, everything is color-enabled. No problem. Arrange them on the Sketchboard, optionally turn bitmaps into smooth vector graphics using autotrace, then automatically assign the letterforms to glyphs to create a fully working font in a few minutes.
No need for a separate ScanFont app! Our Sketchboard is a a virtual desk or canvas that allows you to draw and experiment outside of any glyph. Drag-drop or copy-paste pixel images in most formats, with mono, grayscale, full color and transparency support. Improved Split and autotrace or place the images into the img layer for reference to draw over them.
Rotate and scale imported graphics, crop, blur, remove noise and background. A font family consists of fonts that have different locations on one or more design space Axes , such as width, weight, slant or optical size. Use the Variations panel to preview and control the interpolation and extrapolation results. New Substitute a glyph with another one in parts of the design space. Turn on Edit Across Layers to add, remove or edit nodes on all masters at once. Easily plan your Instances for an extensive font family or a variable font.
With axis instances, define per-axis interpolation locations and style phrases, and FontLab will automatically build a matrix of all instances for all axes, with correct Style names and Style groups.
Thanks to our Variations engine based on MutatorMath, your Masters no longer need to stand in the MM corners, but can be placed freely within the design space. Unlimited axes, intermediate font masters, glyph masters that affect only certain glyphs give you complete freedom in designing interpolable font families and variable OpenType fonts.
FontLab 7 also uses intelligent interpolation in many other areas, including the rewind feature, power nudge, and servant points. To create intermediate designs via interpolation, you need all your glyph masters to have the same number and geometric structure of contours and nodes. FontLab can help you automatically match your masters by sorting contours, relocating start points and correcting path direction. This can happen on the fly, or permanently — with the Match Masters command, which can even blend between two really incompatible masters, intelligently adding nodes where needed.
If your masters are already point-perfect, you can disable the automation in Font Info or the Variations panel. Whether you have two, four, seven or a dozen masters, the improved Matchmaker tool helps you make their point structure compatible for interpolation.
Matchmaker works on Sections, which are sequences of line or curve segments. Select the start nodes of a section across all masters, then select the end nodes of the section and click — FontLab will add, remove or relocate intermediate nodes along the section in each master to create matching structures. Wait for the green light, then enjoy a smooth ride along your axes.

Or turn on Auto layer, and the metrics and component positions in the composite glyph layer will always stay up-to-date. Use Element References and the Gallery panel to re-use smaller pieces of the design across glyphs or even within the same glyph.
Improved FontLab automatically assigns virtual tags to glyphs that are Latin or Cyrillic, have components or colors, are lowercase or have overshoots. All tags form classes and can be viewed with the new Classes panel.

FontLab 7 includes a true Microsoft ClearType preview even on the Mac version , has a streamlined user interface, allows you to attach visual TTH commands to PostScript outlines and overlapping paths, and has built-in functionality to copy TTH commands from one font to another, or from one glyph in a font to a similar one.
