| I think every professional type designer I know uses this software. I have trouble coming up with any other example of total domination of a market segment. Maybe Photoshop in its glory days, or Quark Xpress before that, but even in those cases, there were alternatives in (minor) use. |

| ▲ | asibahi an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | Plenty of alternatives to Glyphs. FontForge and Robofont both come to mind. | | |
| ▲ | sterlind an hour ago | parent [-] | | please find me a single professional font designer who uses FontForge. just one. I use FontForge because I'm a pleb hobbyist without a Mac, but it's like comparing yachts and life rafts. |
