MkFont is a free (libre) tool to create & export fonts from existing assets. Component-based workflow, with advanced features to nit-pick & tweak metrics in a non-destructive way! A powerful component & compositing system, allowing for clever automation and infinite possibilities. Code points are organized by categories & blocks, immediately accessible and search-able. Bind your imported files to glyphs, or edit them on the fly. Use your time where it matters. You can search for specific characters, but also names & attributes. The search can look for known character associations & relationships, too! MkFont respects your assets and allows for experimenting safely with different settings until you find the one that suits your needs. MkFont comes with a small tool that takes a text blurb to show you which group of letters are recurring – and create ligatures out of them.
