Dr. Mac's OS X Tip-of-the-Day
Dr. Mac Shows Where To Find The Free TrueType Font Editor You Already Have.
By BOB LEVITUS
Welcome back to another edition of Inexorable-Raging-Thunder-Lizard-OS
X-Power-User Week, with tips by Lucas Mathis.
Want a free TrueType Font Editor? Easy: install either Simplified or Traditional
Chinese Language Support (System Preferences -> Software Update). Open your
Applications folder, open the Utilities folder and look inside the "Asia Text
Extras" folder. Voila, a free TrueType Font Editor from Apple.
Isn't that something? I didn't have to install anything--the TrueType Font Editor
was right where he said it would be. I guess I installed it by accident during
one of my many OS X reinstalls. :-)
I played with it for a few minutes and managed to make it Quit Unexpectedly
three times. I don't think it likes fonts that aren't Chinese or Korean. Oh
well. You can't beat the price--like the Tip-of-the-Day, it's FREE!
