Boston, Massachusetts, United States
What it is
Glyphter is a web tool for creating icon fonts from SVG files. Users place icons from an icon shelf onto a character grid, then assign CSS class names and edit glyph paths by moving, scaling or deleting them. Finished fonts can be downloaded with a .ttf file for computer installation, along with folders needed to host and use the font on the web. Glyphter says icon fonts can hold many icons at smaller file sizes while remaining scalable and editable by developers. Projects can be saved and managed after signing up or logging in. The free plan costs nothing and supports projects and font downloads. Premium costs $4.99 a month, billed at $4.99/mth, with unlimited projects, grids and glyphs plus faster support replies. Importing an existing SVG font by dragging it onto a grid is described as a beta feature.
