Generate variable fonts on windows?

Alex Visi

What apps can export variable fonts on windows? Seems like it’s still not possible in FontLab VI

Dave Crossland

Fontmake should run on Windows

Igor Freiberger

Alex, keep following the FontLab VI forum.
Very soon a new public build will arrive with this feature in both platforms.

Thomas Phinney

Yes, early this coming week, I expect.

Alex Visi

Wonderful, thanks guys!

Thomas Phinney

Yes, available in the newest build of FontLab VI.
https://www.fontlab.com/font-editor/fontlab-vi/
Still needs documentation, though!

Alex Visi

It works, great job FontLab team!

Thomas Phinney

Note that the initial description of FontLab VI Variable Fonts support is in the release notes, here: https://forum.fontlab.com/fontlab-vi/fontlab-vi-preview-for-mac-and-windows-build-6511/

Within a week or so this should show up in the main documentation, with more details and screen shots, etc.
