Noah PostScript Type 1 Font Editor

Yeah Noah's free Windows 3.1 / 95 / 98 / NT PostScript Type 1 font editor. Version v0.66g. This editor is based on code changing, not mouse dragging. It gives a lot of control to the user, but you will need a bit of a coding mindset to use this wonderful tool.

N. is a PostScript type 1 font editor with a unique approach. It enables users to edit every element within a postscript file... the user interface is simple and straight forward [here follows a description of the editing and manipulation processes available]... Editing with N. is complicated, but the effort is worthy in two cases: if you want to be able to edit everything in a PostScript file and, second, if you really want to learn the PostScript format thoroughly... A font designer who takes his or her work seriously would have to learn the basic grammar of the PostScript language, and the amateur font designer would not be at a loss either.... To sum: N. is not for soft-hearted designers, but the curious and control-freaks will enjoy it a lot. There is not other font design application which offers such full control of every aspect of a glyph.

The "Noah Font Editor" was designed to create and edit Type 1 fonts only. The approach taken by the software designer is an interesting departure from the conventional Windows user interface. The underlying Postscript programming code is proudly displayed in two optional windows. Without any question, it will warm the heart of all hard-nosed software engineers and Postscript programmers who wants to design or modify fonts. But, graphic designers generally may not take too kindly to the unconventional, "in-your-face" engineering approach. Regardless of your background or experience, using the "Noah Font Editor" will guaranteed to give you a thrill and leave you with something to talk about.
