| - Fontographer, sometimes abbreviated to FOG, is a software application used to design fonts, available for both Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh platforms. Fontographer was originally developed by Altsys for the Apple Macintosh. Released in the fall of 1986, before Adobe Illustrator, it was the first commercially available Bézier curve editing software for a personal computer. In January 1995, Altsys was acquired by Macromedia. A new version of Fontographer was included in the Macromedia Graphics Suite, which helped its wider adoption. Although development of the font editor was frozen since 1998, when version 4.1 was released, many font and graphics designers continued to use it. RoboFog was a version of Fontographer 3.5 with an embedded Python interpreter, developed by Just van Rossum, Petr van Blokland and Erik van Blokland. In May 2005, FontLab Ltd. announced that they had licensed distribution rights from Macromedia, and resumed development. They are currently selling Fontographer along with their other products. In December 2005 FontLab shipped a new version of Fontographer for Mac OS, running natively on OS X and featuring numerous bug fixes. They have since exercised their option to buy all rights to Fontographer, so it is now fully owned by FontLab Ltd. (en)
