All core bugfixes from FontLab Studio 5.1.4 on Mac OS X are now incorporated into FontLab Studio 5.2.1 on Windows.He new generation of FontLab’s professional font editors (FontLab Studio 5 T and AsiaFont Studio 5) includes numerous improvements relevant for Unicode font developers.We present some of the feature highlights: better support for Unicode 4.1, support for advanced layout technologies (improved OpenType Layout support and new AAT support), greatly improved class-based kerning and metrics. We discuss the key improvements in FontLab Studio 5 that are helpful in the process of designing and developing fonts for Unicode environments. We focus on the issues of glyph naming and encoding as the crucial prerequisite for creating a functioning Unicode-compatible font. We present guidelines for glyph naming and encoding and discuss two specific case studies that demonstrate their practical application.
