Changelog

Beta. Worked on in bursts, so the gaps are real. Only user-visible changes are listed — Features has the full current state.

2026-08-15

  • NewArrow keys move between grid cells, with a focus ring showing which one you are in. Cells are reachable by Tab.
  • FixedSide bearings, glyph width, width reset and untag can be undone. None of them left an undo entry, so Cmd+Z skipped past to the edit before.
  • FixedCmd+Z in a text field undoes the typing. Renaming a glyph and pressing it removed your last stroke instead.
  • FixedPinch-zoom works outside the drawing surfaces again — the page-wide zoom lock is gone.
  • FixedUFO export writes x-height and cap-height. Both were absent, so an editor drew all three metric lines on the baseline.
  • NewCore path: the stroke's centerline is drawn while an ink tool is active, in Grid and Sketcher.
  • FixedVector shapes can be erased and deleted. Both only ever operated on strokes, so a shape was unremovable.
  • NewFont metadata in the OTF name table — family, style, designer, URL, licence, copyright. File › Font Info.
  • NewUFO export — the source format RoboFont, FontForge, Glyphs and fontTools read. Quadratic contours map across without curve conversion.
  • NewFile › Export Licence writes LICENSE-<font>.txt naming the font and its author.
  • ChangedFile and Fontane.Studio menus grouped with separators; JSON and Skeleton SVG labelled as tooling exports.
  • NewPages: /about, /legal/license (terms + font licence), /changelog.
  • ChangedMenus: account under Fontane.Studio, marketplace actions at the end of File, character sets one per line.
  • FixedEvery page declared the homepage as its canonical URL, so marketplace and font pages excluded themselves from search.
  • NewMarketplace SEO: published fonts in the sitemap, per-font metadata, OG cards rendered in the font itself.
  • NewLogo and favicon.

2026-08-13

  • FixediPad: palm rejection while drawing, menu behaviour, pinch-zoom, and the page no longer scrolls mid-stroke.

2026-08-11

  • Changedfontane.studio is a landing page; the editor moved to /app.
  • ChangedThe OTF compiler is fetched on demand instead of at load.

2026-08-07

  • NewCyrillic and Greek get their own Grid tabs when enabled.
  • FixedA stroke is assigned to the nearest cell, not only the one it is strictly inside.
  • FixedThe live stroke is inked at its final weight — no thickness jump on pen-up.

2026-08-06

  • NewHangul: 24 drawn jamo compose all 11,172 syllable blocks.
  • NewTyper: visible selection, draggable across the handwriting, and scrolling.

Before August

  • NewPressure-sensitive pen, nib and stipple brushes; Bezier pen with smooth anchors and held-key modifiers.
  • NewGrid View with per-glyph guides and draggable bearings; Sketcher with draw–select–assign.
  • NewReal GSUB liga and calt features; weight family export (Light/Regular/Bold).
  • NewClient-side OTF export, marketplace publishing, .fff project files.
