Customer Testimonials for XChange

 I received our licensure for PitStop 12 today. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! for such excellent customer service. 

-John Francis, Staff at AlphaGraphics

 When it comes to servicing, an upgrade or anything dealing my favorite plug-in, I get in touch with XChange US. I have had my dealings with other software resellers and look for a company that can provide customer service and support as well as prompt delivery. I found these things in XChange US when I purchased my most recent upgrade through them. After receiving my product promptly after purchase, I also received a phone call from a representative who wanted to make sure I had seen the arrival of my new software version and asked if I needed anything else. She was very nice it was such a refreshing experience. I would recommend this company to anyone with print software needs.

Description

ScanFont 5 allows you to scan or draw font characters and export them to an outline font editor for further editing.

In six easy steps, ScanFont will enable you to create your own unique fonts from your handwriting, logos, old lettering, bitmap images or outline illustrations.

Benefits

  • Put a signature, logo or symbol into a font
  • Turn someone’s handwriting into a font
  • Convert old print lettering or letterhead into modern electronic format
  • Create symbol fonts

ScanFont includes a very precise auto-tracing algorithm that is designed to work with characters, so you can transform everything that you can print on paper or see on the computer screen into high-quality outlines and transfer them to FontLab Studio, AFS or TypeTool which can export Type 1, TrueType or OpenType fonts.

To turn your graphics into fonts, you simply need to open your image or import one from your scanner, adjust it to fit the look that you want to achieve, and then automatically separate the image into character shapes using the presets and customizable options provided.

Next, you can adjust your shapes and then export them to your outline font editor for fine-tuning. After that, finally, generate a Type 1, TrueType or OpenType font using your editor. ScanFont will quickly convert your images into your own unique fonts for use in your publications.

Features

  • High-quality fully customizable autotracing algorithm especially designed to handle characters
  • Automatic detection of glyphs and strings in a source image
  • Support of almost all bitmap image formats, black-white or color
