Customer Testimonials for XChange

 When it comes to servicing, an upgrade or anything dealing my favorite plug-in, I get in touch with XChange. I have had my dealings with other software resellers and look for a company that can provide customer service and support as well as prompt delivery. I found these things in XChange when I purchased my most recent upgrade through them. After receiving my product promptly after purchase, I also received a phone call from a representative who wanted to make sure I had seen the arrival of my new software version and asked if I needed anything else. She was very nice it was such a refreshing experience. I would recommend this company to anyone with print software needs.  

-Betsy Graham, Creative Director at Sierra Heritage Magazine

 A big thank you for all your help over the last 2 years in teaching me how to get the best out of Switch, and to let you know that I have really enjoyed learning from you. I will have no hesitation in recommending XChange in the future for anything software related. 

-Andy Feltham, Digital Solutions Manager at Raccoon

 I have worked with hundreds of vendors and very rarely come across any as technical and understanding of the Enfocus products as XChange's Account Manager, Brittany is [...] I can't say enough about how fast she provides solutions and how pleasant she is throughout the problem solving process.  

-Rich Wojtas, Digital Workflow Support Specialist at EPI Marketing Services, Inc.

 I received our licensure for PitStop 12 today. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! for such excellent customer service. 

-John Francis, Staff at AlphaGraphics

Description

Opening an existing font or creating a new one from scratch automatically opens the font window, which displays all of the font’s glyphs at once. When you make changes to a glyph in the glyph editor window, the changes are automatically reflected in the font window once the glyph editor is closed. This means you always know exactly what changes you’ve made, and which ones you have yet to apply.

BitFonter offers some drawing tools like a pencil, eraser and brush, as well as some more advanced tools. These include shape-makers for drawing lines, rectangles, ellipses and polygons, as well as a fill tool for adding colour and a magic wand selection tool. There is even a text tool that will insert characters for you to use as a basis for creating your own glyphs.

BitFonter offers exceptional font effects that go beyond the basic scale, skew and rotate. Creating bold effects is easy and you can apply a number of filters, including sharpen, soften, Gaussian blur, emboss (or even a custom filter).

Since bitmap fonts are able to incorporate colour, BitFonter gives you the ability to adjust brightness, contrast, hue and saturation. And if you’re working with images, the remove background feature might come in quite handy.

BitFonter is also the only bitmap-based font generator that allows you to create blended fonts. You can do this by simply taking two fonts and combining them into a new font. It also stands apart from other bitmap font creators in that it allows you to manually or automatically edit kerning, which most other bitmap font generators are too basic to include. You can also create outlines from your bitmap image with the auto trace function.

BitFonter’s glyph metrics editor makes metrics easy, thanks to a what-you-see-is-what-you-get interface. And you can add or remove glyphs just by typing them into the editor as you would type in a word processor.
