A programming language for you to use for your TrueType fonts.
Xgridfit is a high-level, XML-based language for gridfitting, or hinting, TrueType fonts. It aims to provide these advantages over the manual instructing of glyphs:

* replace the cryptic mnemonics of the TrueType language with descriptive instruction names;
* provide for the naming of points, control values, variables, functions and function parameters;
* provide macro capability for the easy and efficient handling of Similar visual features of glyphs;
* provide high-level instructions (e.g. diagonal-stem) to supplement the primitive instructions of TrueType;
* provide high-level programming constructs;
* manage the stack behind the scenes;
* manage reference points and zone pointers behind the scenes;
* provide methods and tools for managing instructions in large font projects;
* edit and augment existing instructions in fonts;
* support the FontForge auto-instructor and TrueType debugger.
* provide a simple method for adding new instructions to fonts that already contain them.

In short, it conceals the Assembly language-like character of the TrueType instruction set behind a friendly fa莽ade and provides many of the conveniences of a high-level programming language. you can free download Xgridfit 2.2 now.
