- davelab6 13y agoFontStruct is proprietary flash. Typism is dead, no one worked on it for ages. http://prototypo.io http://prototypo.io is new, active, libre, Angular, on github, but! it suffers from the classic problem of processing and such; designing visual things isnt best done by writing code. Its why metafont didnt catch on - https://www.google.co.in/search?q=why+metafont+didnt+catch+on https://www.google.co.in/search?q=why+metafont+didnt+catch+o... That's why I help start http://metapolator.com http://metapolator.com which will become a much more powerful online font editor, because it allows you to design typeface families instead of letters.
- louisremi 13y agoHey dave, Currently in Prototypo, users design fonts in a visual way only. Using code will come later, when we can make it user-friendly enough and fully integrated in our visual editor. Anyway, the future looks bright for open-source online type design software. There's a little competition and many possibilities for collaboration. That can only be good!
