The aim of this project is to compile up-to-date Windows builds of FontForge.

For 'stable' builds, see https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/releases

The build system used was based off that offered by Matthew Petroff (http://www.mpetroff.net/software/fontforge-windows/), but has since been practically rewritten.

User Reviews

  • Release 20201107 crashes when importing svg files.
  • The best font editor in the world! Thank you for having it! Added to my site with traffic of ~ 1,500 people per day.
  • By far the best FontEditor out there, I used a font file with so many glyps that no other Editor (not even Proprietary ones) could handle, and it works well in FontForge.
  • The only FOSS way to make fonts. FontForge is amazing and I am extremely grateful to its small group of severely undercompensated devs.
  • Your program helps people.
