Customizing Fontographer sounds on your
Macintosh
Fontographer 4.1 has the ability to play cool sounds during
certain actions. It plays sounds when you snap to a point or
snap to a guide in the Outline Window, and it plays a sound
whenever the “Please Wait” dialog closes. The sound file is
not installed, but you can copy it off the Fonts folder on
your CDROM.
If you wish to use the sounds in Fontographer on your
Macintosh, you should do the following:
1. Find the file called “Fontographer Sounds” on the
CDROM.
2. Place the file into the same folder as Fontographer.
3. Don’t change the name of the file, because
Fontographer looks for that name specifically.
If you’re comfortable using ResEdit, you can easily
customize your sounds.
1. Get the sound you wish to use.
2. Convert the sound into a “snd” resource if necessary.
3. Use ResEdit to paste the snd resource into
the “Fontographer Sounds” file.
4. Then use ResEdit to name the resource (the
spelling must be exact) one of the following names:
- “Snap to point”
- “Snap to guide”
- “Operation done”
That’s it! Run Fontographer and you’ll now hear the
