User Guide

To export a PICT file:
1. Select the “PICT” Format.
2. Select the point size necessary for your intended use.
3. Determine the “Output” option.
“All characters” will export all the characters in your font.
“Selected characters” will export only the characters
currently selected in the Font Window; or from the
Outline Window, the active character.
Choosing “Sample text” will bring up a text entry box for
you to type the text string you would like to export.
4. When you export a PICT file, Fontographer allows
you to choose your own file name.
Once you’ve chosen the folder to export the file to, press
the “Save” button Fontographer will export the font.
Programs such as MacDraw and MacDraw II, Canvas,
Desk Draw, Cricket Draw, and Macromedia FreeHand can
read this file format directly for editing purposes. So now
you can reshape, distort, or enhance characters, or fill them
with specific colors or patterns, and even change their line
sizes.
Exporting Encoding
Fontographer 4.1 for Windows lets you export a font's
encoding to a Windows text file. This allows you to use the
encoding from one font for use in creating a new
one—which comes in particularly handy if you want to
design your own non-Roman font without starting from
scratch.
For the how-to’s of exporting encoding, refer to Using
Fontographer on Your PC.
