When I talked to a Macromedia rep at Macworld a few years ago, he told me there weren't going to be any updates to Fontographer. No OS X version or anything. He said Macromedia was going to be integrating Font creation into their Freehand software.

Looks like they sold it to FontLab. Cool.

This is news to me. Glad to hear that there's an OS X version out now.

Thanks for posting this thread

I had not heard until I saw the news a few days ago. And I became pissed.

I have kept my Macromedia Fontographer box in my attic for years- just in case. About two weeks ago, I finally threw it away, knowing I would never run a classic app again. And then I hear about this- with it's $100 upgrade. Damn I'm pissed.
Paco is bitter about the loss of his .mac webpage. Image will return when his sadness lessens.
