A few shorter-lived and more specialized font converters followed: FONmaker, for converting vector fonts into bitmaps FontFlasher, for converting вЂњnormalвЂќ vector fonts into pixelated vector fonts for low-resolution display in Flash apps and FogLamp, for converting native Fontographer files into modern formats.

Next came TransType, a font converter for moving fonts between TrueType, OpenType and Type 1 formats and between Macintosh and Windows platforms. With FontLab VI, the ScanFont functionality was again integrated into the main application. ScanFont, a tool for converting scans and bitmaps of glyphs into vector glyphs was part of FontLab 2, but in the next version it was split off, and became a stand-alone application. ДЄt a time when fonts came in different formats and were platform-specific, FontLab also began to create a line of font creation and conversion utilities. OpenType features for complex scripts like Arabic, Devanagari, and Thai are not directly supported, but can be added through MicrosoftвЂ™s Volt. These functions are now included in Fontlab Studio since version 5.1. In the past, AsiaFont Studio (or Fontlab Composer) was a more sophisticated version of Fontlab, with special features for editing Chinese, Japanese and Korean fonts. TypeTool, a simplified version of FontLab Studio, is quite inexpensive and serves as an entry level typeface editor, which is popular with students, hobbyists, and those whose typographic needs are relatively simple. In addition, FontLab has developed spinoff font editors for specific markets. Although initially Windows versions always came first, with FontLab VI, the two versions have become in sync, with simultaneous releases.
