Low-end products by Fontlab Ltd.

Fontlab Ltd. offers several applications at the affordable, semi-pro level. TransType is a universal font converter. It turns a Windows font into a Mac font, or TrueType into PostScript (and vice-versa). Very useful if you use fonts on multiple platforms, especially if your application just doesn't support the other type. TypeTool is the lightweight font editor, and has all the essentials for the type designer. (In fact, some of the fonts at MyFonts.com are created with TypeTool).
