The Adobe FDK for OpenType (AFDKO) version 2.5 library is integrated in 5.1 (as opposed to 1.6 in 5.0.4). Improved OpenType Layout support through FEA 2.5 It allows you to open, save and generate fonts with up to 65,535 glyphs. 2.5 times faster in 5.1 than in 5.0.4, running on Mac OS 10.6.8.Ĭreating OpenType fonts with up to 65,535 glyphsįontLab Studio 5.1 has no longer the 6,400 glyph limit. On Intel Macs, FLS 5.1 runs much faster than 5.0.4. Rather than the old "afii" naming scheme, all the encoding files use the new "uni" naming scheme.

Included is a set of new "OpenType" encoding files ("OpenType Standard", "OpenType LatPro", "OpenType LatPro SC", "OpenType LatCyrGrk" etc.) which are suitable as a basis for designing OpenType fonts. FLS 5.1 ships with updated versions of the Unicode-to-glyphname mapping files (standard.nam and several others), updated vendors.dat, updated tags.txt, as well as a largely revamped set of standard encoding files.
