An outline font editor that lets you create your own postscript, truetype,
opentype, cid-keyed, multi-master, cff, svg and bitmap (bdf, FON, NFNT) fonts,
or edit existing ones. Also lets you convert one format to another. FontForge
has support for many macintosh font formats.

Printing is supported over the command "lpr". With this printing feature you
can print single chars or a complete summary of a font.

An english documentation in HTML format is included an can be opened with
the programs menus. By default OpenURL is used to find the favourite browser,
but you also can set one of the following environment variables:

 "Cygnix/BROWSER"           : A global browser for AmiCygnix.

In the program directory there is also an english tutorial in PDF format.
