The “About” screen shows the version of the current build. April 2013 FontLab Studio 5.2.1 for Windows with new features (create OpenType fonts with up to 65,535 glyphs, improved OpenType generation through FEA syntax 2.5, interpolated nodes, OpenType Layout features in Metrics Window, class kerning overlay preview, new Change Weight and Clean Up Paths operations, MM glyph blend preview, canvas notes, Python 2. The last few digits are a “build number” that is actually a date - the number of days since January 1, 2000, on the day the build was made. If FontLab finds an update, it suggests you to download and install it, but you can postpone this operation if you prefer. When you choose to download, the download link is passed to your default web browser, and the download starts.
The file will be downloaded to your browser’s default download location, typically a “Downloads” directory, or your Desktop.įontLab does not overwrite or interfere with the operation of FontLab Studio 5. If you want, you can even keep a previous version of FontLab: just rename the existing installed application before installing the updated version. Double-click the downloaded file: this will run the FontLab Installer on Windows, or mount the disk image on MacOS. The process of the update install is the same as the initial install. The updated app doesn’t need to be activated again it should work without asking for your serial number.
NOTE: MAC OS X has a security feature called GateKeeper which may prevent FontLab from starting. If that is the case right-click the FontLab icon and choose Open. Then click the Open button at the next dialog warning to launch FontLab anyway.
