It's like that one dude who posted that one awesome unicorn font here awhile back that caused my copy of FontExplorer to wither up and die.

e: Is this the one?

Nope. This one had a kajillion nodes per character. Actually, now that I think about it, I had to actually change my view settings to delete it, because Finder would crash tying to render a preview of it.

I can't seem to find a link, though. This is killing me. Where are you, oh magical typographer?

The free way of doing it is by using the program FontForge. It is an ugly program. Difficult to install and use, but will do what you are looking for.

For what it's worth, FontForge is basically the Gimp, but for fonts. Glyphs looks fantastic, and I've heard good things about it—I'm slowly saving for a copy.

gently caress you Proxima Nova lower case a. The rest of you is great, and you come along with your bubbly curled up loop and mess everything up.

Oh god help. Just bought Univers Com 57 Condensed and Univers Com 47 Light Condensed, but the leading (?) is completely different between the two of them on iOS and it's foul and ugly. :wtf:



Where did you buy it from? If it's straight from the foundry or their distributor, this is a straight-up customer service issue and you should be able to talk to someone about it.

Jesssss. As if any other part of making this app wasn't a mild pain-in-the-rear end. Why should changing fonts be any different?

It is tedious, arcane, unnecessarily complicated poo poo like this that really makes me regret my choice of profession sometimes.
