The predecessor of Fontlab Ltd. was Pyrus North America Ltd. The company was established in 1992 to internationally market and distribute software produced by SoftUnion Ltd. of St. Petersburg, Russia. In 1993 the first product, FontLab 2.0 for Windows, one of the first digital typeface editors for the Windows environment, was released. Reviews and feedback from marketing research showed the product was very well received by a new and rapidly growing group of graphic designers who worked on the PC.
In 2003-2004, a series of major updates to Fontlab Ltd.'s products were released: FontLab 4.6, ScanFont 4 for Mac and BitFonter 2 for Mac. In May 2005, Fontlab Ltd. amazed the critics and the user community by announcing that the company licensed the Fontographer product line from Macromedia and plans to continue the development of the font editing classic. Later that year saw the release of FontFlasher (for creating pixelfonts) and FogLamp (for converting native Fontographer files into native Fontlab files).
Fontlab Ltd. now occupies the leading role worldwide in computer typography tools with more typography products on more platforms in more languages than any other company. |
