As long as Apple is showcasing the new font technology, here is my
wishlist. I would like to see an application released by someone that
is REAL cheap (< $50) that has the ability to read in existing bitmap
fonts and provide a method for an average user to do some simple
autotracing and editing to generate outline fonts from their existing
bitmap fonts. The application should also provide an easy way for the
user to generate "hint" files for tweaking the font at various weird
sizes.
This must include support for the new layout manager and making
context-sensitive fonts as well.
Howzat for a real Santa-come-soon?
