Hi has anyone tested/tried/demo’d FontXChange by Morrison SoftDesign
http://www.morrisonsoftdesign.com

just wondering what you think, thanks

I recently bought it. It works very well. I wanted to change some of my library over to OT, and it went very smoothly.

My only disappointment is that you have no control of the font’s metadata(?). I was spoiled trying out TransType Pro, which allows you to fine tune some things (family, etc). FXC doesn’t have anything extra. It just does a straight conversion, albeit excellently.

Go ahead and demo it. You may love it!

Hi I purchased it a while back. I posted this a I have not seen 1 review anywhere, I was wondering if it was being avoided.

One reason could be the nefarious use of such software like FontXChange. Maybe nefarious is too strong a word. Anyway, most EULAs (for most foundries) do not allow modifications of any kind to their fonts.
