Just in time for Easter, FontLab has just released a 6.1.4 update for FontLab VI. Thanks to the many FontLab users who have made suggestions and reported bugs!
As usual, there is a lengthy list of small new features and improvements, as well as many bug fixes. Highlights include the ability to export .glyphs files, better import of .glyphs files, enhancements to optical separation of imported artwork, and improved OpenType Variations export, new high‐precision segment editing, Font window cell icons for composites and auto layers, smoother kerning workflow, italic linked metrics, snapping Knife — plus smarter glyph deletion, and better OTF hinting export. Also, a longstanding bug that could delete kerning was fixed.

If you have FontLab VI installed, choose Check for Updates… from the FontLab VI (Mac) or File (Windows) menu and follow the instructions to get the update.

Congrats, Thomas! I really like the increased ability to collaborate and use FL as a font viewer even if only in demo mode.2
