Licence
Autopsy is free for non-commercial use.
A licence has to be purchased from my shop as soon as profit is made with fonts that involved Autopsy for testing. Licences are sold per workstation that it is used on.
Answers and questions
Why do I need this?
You don’t get your kicks from punches, stiff serifs and ink cracks?
Move, nothing to see here.
Otherwise you need this tool to make sure that the letters you draw are consistent in design across your font family. It doesn’t go into aesthetic details of lettershapes. That’s up to your type design skills. But you can now make sure that the width of your Light, Bold and Black blend well behaved according to b=√(ac), a=b²÷c and c=b²÷c. Read more about interpolation theory at Luc[as]’s (click on Information and then Interpolation theory) or on Typophile.
Dude, I superpolate.
I know that my fonts are b=√(ac), a=b²÷c and c=b²÷c !
Right. This tool is not for the superpolators. It is for those who draw fonts in single files, one for Regular, one for Bold and one for Black.
It is useful for foundries who are updating ancient font families that have been digitized when Multiple Master or Superpolator was unheard of. Those fonts often have huge design inconsistencies that are difficult to come by if you can’t see them.
But I can already compare my fonts now.
I generate each of them, fire up InDesign, place each letter of each font on the pages, export the thing as a PDF, open Acrobat and view the thing on the screen.
Right.
Coming up in future versions
- Save individual presets of preferences from the GUI
- Use option boxes instead of check boxes in GUI. Hello, FontLab? Hello??
- Generally improve User Interface
- Get glyphs with zero width and missing glyphs right
- Support TrueType outlines
If you must use TrueType fonts now, convert them PostScript outlines first.
- Tweak colors and fonts of the PDF from the GUI
Anything missing? Let me know.
