What Type 3.2 is

Type 3.2 is a Windows font editor for creating or modifying TrueType and OpenType fonts. It reads and writes TTF and OTF files and supports Unicode through version 13.0. The glyph editor handles quadratic TrueType and cubic PostScript curves and can convert imported EPS outlines to quadratic approximations. Kerning tools support classes, live previews, and AFM data import. OpenType layout uses Adobe .fea syntax for ligatures, contextual alternates, stylistic sets, small caps, oldstyle figures, and fractions. TrueType and PostScript hinting tools provide previews at multiple point sizes. Type 3.2 focuses on static, single-style fonts: it does not author variable fonts or multiple-master interpolations. It imports monochrome SVG outlines but lacks COLR/CPAL layered color tables and SBIX/CBDT bitmap emoji formats. The trial is fully functional for 30 days. Windows 10 and 11 are supported, with requirements of 2GB RAM, 200MB disk space, and a 1280×800 display.
