Download Link Button

A new button is available on the Fx bar at the right side of the FIG screen. When you click on it, a new window opens to a download location where you can download the current font to your local machine. Works for character fonts only. Not dingbats at the moment.

At the moment there are 492 character fonts on FIG with about 95% of them linked this way to a download source. All future fonts will be downloadable.

The font download files aren't hosted on FIG. For most fonts, numerous download sites can be found so why duplicate? My favorite is Dafont.com mostly because the search tools wok the best.

Please make a bug report if you notice any problems or bad links with the new feature.

March FIG updates

Hi Everybody. I've been traveling in the month of Feb. so not much new in the way of fonts or effects. I'll be back to the office next week and will be posting some new fonts, another tutorial video, and a few other updates. Requests anyone?

ImageMagick Editor Update

An update to the ImageMagick editor is released. The IM editor provides a way to modify FiG effects or develop your own. Command line instructions are sent directly from the editor to ImageMagick with results immediately visible on-screen.

Latest changes include updates to many of the effects, a brief explanation of each special effect and ways it can be altered in the editor, and a pop-up list of the macro keywords that can be used to reference colors, font, font size, etc.

When the editor is visible, all special effect toolbar commands are loaded into the editor before execution. This allows you to make changes to the commands sent to ImageMagick. In addition, the IM editor holds a list of library effects. These are effects that have limited use or limitations such that they dont deserve space on the toolbar. If the editor is closed, toolbar effects are executed immediately.
