But one of the things that I find fairly annoying are the number of extra clicks I need to press just to access a particular menu command. Yes, I give him credit for being different. I can see the developer is trying to be original with the menu command (File, Edit etc). I'm not sure about other users' Macs (perhaps the brightness has been set all the way to the top to make it work for them), but even with my maximum brightness, I do have to squint hard to look at these buttons to see what they are.Ģ. And I mean much more significant contrast. Yeah alright, I can see the developer is going down the path of Adobe CS6 with its darker theme for the UI, but if this is to be attempted and become the norm for this tool, make sure the graphics and text representing the buttons on the UI are clear. I won't go into a lot of details (as I see the developer is working hard to fix up bugs and all the rest), but I would really like to see the following improvements (if it is possible)::ġ.

Furthermore, I really hate to criticise any software that is freeware, but I do have a few qualms about this one.
#Birdfont ratings plus#
Perhaps the biggest plus is the ability to create new font characters in a package that is essentially free (well, donationware to be more precise) is really a gift to the Mac community. And, to some extent, I still do like what the developer has achieved so far. I see a lot of potential in what's emerging out of this tool and the things one can do with it. Source: dev.You know I really want to like BirdFont a lot. This will decrease the amount of request as well as the total size. In case you have multiple small images (icons like images) that are used across the website, you can bundle them together using apps like Icomoon App.

If you're struggling with FontForge, you can also try BirdFont which is a bit simpler. A great place to start learning is to read the Design with FontForge ebook, which will quickly teach you a lot of the basics that can be applied no matter which font editing software you're using.
