In an easy 6-step process Sigmaker can add signatures, symbols, new glyphs or other bitmap images to any TrueType/OpenType font. Sigmaker autotraces the image; converts it to vector format; allows the user to scale and space the image; lets the user assign a keystroke; and creates a new font by adding the character to any TrueType font on the user's system. The user may then type the new character from their keyboard when using the new font.
Sigmaker works with any valid TrueType/OpenType font - even two-byte Chinese or Japanese fonts! It can add black & white images that are in PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, EPS, AI, BMP (Windows only), PICT (Mac only), or PDF (Mac only) - easily generated from many scanners and graphics programs.
Another exciting new feature of SigMaker 3 is the ability to create SING glyphlets. The SING architecture was developed by Adobe to solve the ?gaiji? problem in Chinese, Japanese and Korean typography. In those languages, characters sometimes have graphical variants that represent personal names or places. These variants, called ?gaiji? in Japanese, typically are not included in the standard fonts. The SING architecture enables users to extend their Asian fonts with new ?glyphlets? ? glyph objects that can be associated with fonts without actually modifying them. SING glyphlets are currently supported in Adobe InDesign CS2 and CS3. |
