As a font editing and creation tool, Macromedia's Fontographer 4.1 can go a long way toward creating the myriad fonts digital artists need to accomplish the right look for each project. It provides the ability to create custom fonts, either by freehand drawing, using drawing tools, or by importing images to use as templates.

Macromedia Fontographer is the easiest way to create royalty-free fonts for print, multimedia, and the Internet. Easily expand existing fonts to include fractions, symbols, foreign characters, and logos in Type 1, Type 3, and TrueType fonts; or create an entire typeface from scratch. Fonts created with Fontographer can be used in any program with a font menu on Windows and Macintosh platforms.
The DL above consists of six Disk Copy 4.2 floppy disk image files, in a Disk Copy 6.3 .img container and compressed as ".sit" with Stuffit 3.6 for better backwards compatibility.
CompatibilityArchitecture: 68k PPC
- Accelerated for the Power Macintosh
- System 6.0.7 or later
- 5 MB RAM
- Hard disk drive
Note: The PPC version of Fontographer will not run in the SheepShaver emulated environment because SheepShaver lacks MMU support. Workaround: Perform a "Custom" install of Fontographer and install the 68k "Fontographer 4.1.4 Non-FPU" option. The Non-FPU version runs well in the SheepShaver environment.

Removed the old MU link and uploaded the original software to here for archiving.
Well, someone had to do it... I did wait for 6+ months or so...
Here's a pdf manual for Fontographer 4.1:

The installer of this contains versions for 68k Macs, both with and without an FPU, as well as an accelerated PPC version. So perhaps the Compatibility rating "Architecture: PPC" above, can be changed to reflect this.
A workaround to get Fontographer to run on SheepShaver is to do a "Custom Install" and install the 68k version without FPU support. It works slowly, but it is better than not at all. Fontographer crashes badly if you do the standard install and install the PPC version on SheepSaver.
There is also included an installable 68k version for 68k Macs with an FPU, it will run too ( if you install an FPU emulation INIT on your SheepShaver install), however it runs at least 10 times slower than the Non FPU 68k version when running on SheepSaver.
So custom install the no FPU 68k version of Fontographer and you will be able to use this app on SheepShaver.
SheepShaver is still not very stable software. A special working with Mac OS 9.0.4.
In my opinion work more good in Mac OS 8.6
I'm having trouble getting this to work in SheepShaver. It starts up fine, but as soon as I open a font, sheepshaver crashes. I've seen other's posting similar problems. Has anyone successfully gotten this to work in SheepShaver? Any tips on how to solve the problem? Fontographer is a great program and I'd like to be able to salvage the fonts I've created with it.
