字库编辑程序

   字库编辑程序应当属于专业性比较强的通用软件程序。
    字库在西方文字环境下，实在算不得是个什么大事。在中文环境下，因为实在是太麻烦，且又容易被盗版而很少有人去做。所以，现在市面上见得到的字库编辑程序不多，对于一般爱好者来说，也都算不上好使。
    附带说一句，一般稍微专业一点程序，对于本专业的应用，都会直接调用地层函数，或者直接写汇编代码。由于字库软件是对字库进行操作的，所以，一切汉化的有关字库的软件都不大保险（尽管其它汉化也不太保险，但是相对来说，字库方面的更不保险）。会产生什么问题呢？毛病小的时候，会产生诸如写的某些域被破坏（由于字库内涉及的域太多，具体破坏了哪些域还真不好说。TrueType的定义域大概有1000行，绝大多数没有什么用处，但是谁也不知道什么域在什么地方有用）。所以，如果你要有志于编辑自己的字库，一定要使用原版的程序，而决不要使用什么汉化版。使用汉化版看上去可能比使用原版程序省事，但是有可能会毁掉你所有的工作。

1， High-Logic公司的Font Creator Program 5.1版。这是一款试用期为30天，30天过后需要注册的字库编辑软件。FCP4.1支持双字节字，全英文操作界面。这款字库编辑软件大概是现在见得到的最便宜好用的字库编辑软件了。此前的FCP3.0版，虽然功能上少一些（例如不能够扫描位图），但是在30天试用期过期之后，仍旧可以使用。登陆到High-Logic公司的页面，可以随时下载最新版本。

2， Softy 1.07版。注册软件，但是不注册也能使用。支持双字节字。虽然不是很好用（不大直观、也不太方便），但却可以一用。

3，Macromedia公司的Fontographer 4.1版。Macromedia公司是一家著名的软件公司。其麾下的有著名的Dreamwavre、Flash、FireWorks、Authorware、FreeHand等等，可惜，它的Fontographic 4.1版只支持单字节字，全英文界面。

    4， FontLab公司的FontLab，最新版本4.6。据说正式版本不使用注册号，而是硬件加密卡并另一套光盘，因此而极少见到该程序的盗版。
    Fontlab是一家专门以开发和销售字库编辑软件为生的软件公司。该公司开发了一系列与字库相关的软件。包括扫描的、修改的、人名的、专为亚洲双字节市场准备的...等等一个系列。
    如果从纯功能的角度客观地说，应当说这套软件是字库编辑软件当中最好的。即便是制作中文字库，使用该程序也相当方便。但是比较贵。专门为亚洲市场准备的最新的AsiaFont4.0要1999美元。一套买下来需要几千美金。该公司网站上提供demo版。该软件是全英文界面。
    （该公司原域名为：www.fontlab.com，但是最近一两年该服务器一直有问题，我们登陆不上去，通过与该公司负责人联系，他们介绍了现在的域名：www.fontlab.ch，但是还请您经常试一试www.fontlab.com，这是他们的正式域名）

5，其它造字工具如台湾文鼎科技的图王造字系统，听说过，没见过。

6， 苹果（MAC）机操作系统的造字程序，只能在中文Mac OS 8或加CLK 1.1.1以上才能使用，可支持2 Byte True Type字形。由于Mac机器少，所以使用得也就比较少。

7，此外还有：ADINGFNT、AFIUTIL、ASCIIMAS、ASCIIMST、CAFONT、CHRTIM、CMPW、CYRCEN、CYRKYB、ECHRMAP、ESYASCII、FFX、FGLAN090、FN23、FN3TRY、FNLK32、FNLOOK、FNTCHR、FNTCMPR、FNTCMPRI、FNTFND、FNTFX、FNTGLNCR、FNTLIN、FNTNAMER、FNTPRNTM、FNTSHO、FNTSMPLR、FNTSRV32、FNTSZ、FNTVIEWR、FOFF、FONREV、FONSAM、FONT2BMP、FONTBK、FONTC、FONTCHLC、FONTEX、FONTEZY、FONTFILE、FONTINST、fontliss、fontlizt、FONTLS32、FONTLT、FONTLTSH、FONTMAGI、FONTNV、FONTO、FONTPAGE、FONTQ、FONTS、FONTSA、FONTSH、FONTSINM、FONTSLCT、FONTT、FONTUR、fontvewr、FONTVWER、FONTVWWW、FOTSHO、FPRNT、FS20E、FS32EVAL、FSK-SE~1、FSTAR、FTEDT、GARRT1、HIERTT、ICFONTPR、ICFONTVE、INSTAFNT、INSTFONT、JOBSPE、KEYCODES、KYBNVGTR、LSTFON、MF35、PFONTWIN、PHONTZ、PMFNT、PRNAPP70、PVFP3220、QUICKF、ROPS32、SHFNTS、SYMSEL、SYSFON、TIPOMAKR、TROWSR、TRUVU、TTFPLS、TTFTODXF、TTYPEREN、TYP111FE、TYPEDS、TYPEFC、TYPERAST、TYPVU、UBIQFONT、VFNTPTPR、VIEWFONT、VISIFONT、VISUALFN、WFNTY、WOSTE98、FPEdit、FONT_BLD等等。
但上述程序大多数是只针对单字节字，而且都是单字节文字，20年前的产物（绝大多数是win31或dos下的应用），所以，其对于我们的适用性可见一斑。

尽管上面介绍了不少字库编辑程序，尽管这些程序我们也大多见过，但是应当说，由于这些程序要么是外国人的，要么是模仿外国人的，总而言之一句话：对于制作中文字库而言，都不好使，都不方便。仅以最贵的FontLab而言，使用时同样也需要将自己制作的部件逐个手工拷贝到每一个字的每一个偏旁部首的地方，然后进行组合、编辑、调整。这样算下来，制作一版字库，至少需要3～5人年。如此速度怎能适应日新月异的市场变化？！
