BIRDFONT COMMERCIAL FREE SOFTWARE

For a software that is described as free, this is confusing.

Can we not have to show the initial window on startup asking if it is for commercial or free use. My recommendation: put the menu commands across the top of the window (or what's wrong in the menu bar created by Apple's own Finder app? While it isn't the most exciting and original way of doing things, I find that it just works and simplifies the process of accessing fcommands so much.ģ. But then I realise, I need to click at least twice to actually get into the menu grouping I want, and eventually another click to finally use the menu command I want. When I found out, I thought 'Yay, I can use this tool again'. I mean, now, we have to make an extra click into what appears to be the settings button (I have seen a similarly designed button for this purpose on other apps), but initially I had no way of knowing the menu commands are actually hidden in there. But one of the things that I find fairly annoying are the number of extra clicks I need to press just to access a particular menu command. Yes, I give him credit for being different. I can see the developer is trying to be original with the menu command (File, Edit etc). I'm not sure about other users' Macs (perhaps the brightness has been set all the way to the top to make it work for them), but even with my maximum brightness, I do have to squint hard to look at these buttons to see what they are.Ģ. And I mean much more significant contrast. Yeah alright, I can see the developer is going down the path of Adobe CS6 with its darker theme for the UI, but if this is to be attempted and become the norm for this tool, make sure the graphics and text representing the buttons on the UI are clear. I won't go into a lot of details (as I see the developer is working hard to fix up bugs and all the rest), but I would really like to see the following improvements (if it is possible)::ġ. Furthermore, I really hate to criticise any software that is freeware, but I do have a few qualms about this one.

Perhaps the biggest plus is the ability to create new font characters in a package that is essentially free (well, donationware to be more precise) is really a gift to the Mac community. And, to some extent, I still do like what the developer has achieved so far. I see a lot of potential in what's emerging out of this tool and the things one can do with it. Would easily be a 5 star app if it was a LOT more user friendly.You know I really want to like BirdFont a lot.

But it would sure be nice to know how to use it. Now that I’ve played with it, I would have paid $50 or $60 for it. I basically took a chance that it wasn’t complete garbage since it’s the only font editor in the app store.

It’s a great app, and I was hesitent to pay $15 for it because even the description in the app store is almost nonexistent. I’m sure the developer knows exactly what all the tools are and how to use them, but how about helping out users that are new to editing fonts.

There are even a few videos, but they have no sound so you are just basically watching someone move the cursor around and don’t know when/if he’s clicking the mouse or pressing a key or anything. It doesn’t tell what all the tool icons are either. There is a manual/tutorial on the website, but it is severely lacking in details. Some tools tips when hovering over them would be great.Īlso, there is no help file, or manual. Some are obvious but most are just symbols that mean nothing to the average user. There is nothing to tell you what the tools are. It did everything I needed to do, but I was fumbling all the way through using it - used command-z a lot. There is a non App Store version of this app on the web that seems to be popular. This appears to be the only font editor in the Mac App Store.
