A Macromedia are the current suppliers of the Fontographer type design application (formerly supplied by Altsys). If a designer creates a font using this application and doesn’t change the default settings then the font will be attributed to Macromedia (or Altsys). Any designer who creates a font from scratch will encode their name or foundry name within the font. If you acquire a font attributed to Altsys or Macromedia then you should be suspicious of its origins. this page was last updated 28 April 2000 © 2000 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
