The record

Purpose: FontCreator creates, edits, and exports professional fonts.
Font formats: It supports OpenType, TrueType, WOFF, and WOFF2 fonts, including variable and color fonts.
Glyph design: It supports both quadratic and cubic glyph contours and can import raster images and vector artwork.
OpenType editing: Its OpenType Layout Designer can edit lookups and preserve existing OpenType features, and the product page says an Adobe fea compiler is included.
Validation: Live validation and a Font Validation wizard help identify font or outline issues, with the wizard listed as a Professional feature.
Integrations and interchange: Font projects can be imported and exported in Glyphs, UFO, and Designspace formats; Professional also supports Microsoft VOLT projects.
Trial: The free 30-day trial includes all features, and a license is required to continue using the product after the trial.
Supported systems: FontCreator runs on 64-bit Windows 7, 8, 10, or 11 and macOS 11 or later on Apple Silicon or Intel.
Notable platform limit: The download page says 32-bit Windows builds are no longer supported.
License limit: A single-user license may be activated on up to two devices and, for an organization, must be assigned to one named user.
Security and privacy: The privacy policy says online orders are encrypted and processed by its payment processor, so High-Logic does not receive customers’ credit-card information.
Support: High-Logic directs users to its support page and customer support, and recommends its forum for technical issues, where it says questions are usually answered within a couple of hours.
Intended users: The maker describes Essentials as suited to everyday font creation and editing and Professional as suited to advanced development and production work.
