FontRapid Changelog

We’re improving FontRapid with every update. Here is the list of them.

    • v1.4.0Jan 27, 2018

    💥🙀 An important update! Category / Group view, Ligatures and Alternates are introduced in this version!

    *** NEW ***

  • Category View is available. When you created a lot of characters, the interface wouldn't be messy any more. Glyphs are carefully categorized to help you find them quickly.
  • Ligatures. Create as many ligatures as you like, and it's very simple to use. Just add a suffix .liga to the layer to make it a ligature. For example, to create a ffi ligature, name the layer to ffi.liga
  • Alternates. Similar as ligatures, just add a suffix .alt01, .alt02,... to the layer to make it an alternate. For example, to create an alternate for G, name the layer to G.alt01
