DTL IkarusMaster

DTL IkarusMaster is the outline editor for the IK (Ikarus) format. It is intended for drawing, correcting and managing glyph sets.
IkarusMaster can be used as a standalone font editor. Fonts can be directly imported and exported without the need of DTL DataMaster, although the latter makes converting and generating fonts in batch possible. Improver-functions can be applied on a complete font and on character level. The double byte IK databases can contain up to 65535 glyphs. Work on four byte support is in process.
DTL IkarusMaster supports Wacom Intuos 2 and 3 tablets with lens cursors for manual digitizing. This way offering a unique and versatile alternative for scanning and auto tracing, especially when a 1:1 conversion is requested. In this case 1.000 IK units IK equal 1 centimeter, offering detailed control up to 1/100th of a millimeter.
