Recent versions of Mac OS X (since 10.7 Lion in 2011) no longer support PowerPC-based Mac applications. This affected a number of applications available from Fontlab Ltd.: some older FontLab applications do not work on 10.7 or later operating systems. For ScanFont and BitFonter, we have provided a workaround by packaging the Windows application in a WINE wrapper that allows it to run on Mac OS X. Buying ScanFont or BitFonter 'for Mac' means getting the Windows version with the WINE wrapper in a single installer. We considered discontinuing these applications, as they do not sell enough units to justify new versions, but as there are no alternatives available on Mac OS, we continue to make the WINE-wrapped versions available as an imperfect but useful workaround.

5 on 1 vote Photofont Start is a free plugin that allows the use of photofonts in Adobe Photoshop and compatible applications for Mac OS and Windows. FontLab BitFonter.

(Windows versions of FontLab products are not affected by this in any way.)

Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and later created some minor issues for FontLab Studio, which were addressed in version 5.1.5.

If you're on Mac OS X and using Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, please read this note carefully.

Note: TransType 4 and FontLab Pad were our first apps that support the Mac Retina resolutions natively. Our other apps work on Retina Macs, but do not use the high resolution. The apps will look the same on Retina screens as on non-Retina screens.

We have officially approved the most recent v5714 builds of FontLab Studio 5 for general release: these will be the official 5.1.5 Mac and 5.2.2 Windows releases. Compared to the previous 5.1.4 / 5.2.1 releases, this fixes 40 bugs, including 24 bugs present on both platforms, 7 Mac-only issues, and 9 Windows-only issues.

We strongly recommend the new versions for all 5.1 / 5.2 users. We also suggest them for 5.0.x users; although there are a few bugs introduced in 5.1 / 5.2 that are not yet fixed, overall we think these versions are better than 5.0.4 and earlier.

Mac users, please read the release notes for install details as well! Then download:

Mac Install Info

Fontlab Studio 5 1 5

Unfortunately, due to some technical issues, the Mac installer and app are not “code-signed,” so Mac OS X sees it as coming from an “unidentified developer.” We realize this is not ideal, but we thought it would still be better to give you these bug fixes than to sit on the installer until we sort out the install issue. Thanks for understanding.

FontLab Studio Mac now has a user interface localized in seven languages! No longer just English — also French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese. You can also override the automatic language selection to get a different UI language.

To launch the Mac installer (and the app) the first time, please:

  • Right-click (Ctrl-click) on the installer (or the installed application) in the Finder and choose “Open.”
  • Click on “Open” in the dialog box that appears.
  • You’ll only need to do this once to install, and once again on the app. After this it will just launch normally.

Windows Install Info & Python

(Updated 14 March 2016)
Since the release of 5.2.2 for Windows, we have encountered an compatibility issue with the newest Python 2.X, version 2.7.11. Version 5.2.2 will not launch with this version of Python installed, without extra measures. There are two possible solutions, below. (Note: you do not need Python installed at all to run FontLab Studio 5; it is just that if you do have it installed, this can be an issue.)

  • Note that it must be a 32-bit version of Python installed. FontLab Studio 5 will not work with a 64-bit Python. (32-bit Python will run fine on a 64-bit version of Windows.
  • One option is to install Python 2.7.10 instead.
  • The other option is to do the following steps, to edit the environment variables via the System Properties dialog:
    • Windows Key + X
    • System
    • Advanced system settings
    • Environment Variables…
    • and add a PYTHONHOME variable with value of “C:Python27

Changes & Bug Fixes in 5.1.5 / 5.2.2

Fontlab Studio 5

There was one major code change. When generating OTF fonts, we no longer use the Adobe AFDKO code to generate the name table and OS/2 table; instead we rely on FontLab’s own code, which was already being used for these tables in TTFs. This change yields more consistent results between TTF and OTF, ensuring user-defined info shows up in the font regardless of format, and avoids surprise default results that are not visible in the FontLab interface.

Also, “language” lists were updated in “Additional OpenType names” tab of Font Info for Windows and Macintosh platforms in accordance with http://​www​.microsoft​.com/​t​y​p​o​g​r​a​p​h​y​/​o​t​s​p​e​c​/​n​a​m​e​.​htm.

Bugs which were both introduced and fixed during the development of this release are not listed.

Special thanks to Lucas de Groot for reporting at least 20 of the bugs we fixed.
