As we said before, in FontLab you can make Multiple Master fonts that will
be completely compatible with the Multiple Master specification. You can
edit every aspect of the MM fonts, from master outlines to metrics to
kerning and font header data. You can make up to four axes, which means
that the font will need 16 master fonts. And at any time you can view an
intermediate font made from the designed MM font in its current state.
In the following sections we will discuss MM-specific FontLab features. We
presume that you have read the previous chapters of this book and know
all the single-master features of FontLab.
