Shapes. The FontLab VI version of Components, reinvented.

In FontLab VI, any set of contours can be defined as a Shape, and reused across glyphs. Live references are kept even if cloned Shapesare scaled or rotated. You can edit a cloned Shape anywhere it appears, or just in the source glyph. FontLab VI can automatically link cloned shapes when opening an OTF. It will create TrueType, UFO or VFB components, CFF subroutines and COLR subglyphs when exporting into the appropriate format.

FontLab VI is our next-generation professional font editor, crafted for type designers and font geeks. FontLab VI is the only true cross-platform type design and font creation app, and a massive upgrade over our workhorse FontLab Studio 5.
