As some of you probably noticed, we have recently improved the main navigation of the FontStruct website.
The main menu now includes a link to FontStruct Live, and My FontStruct, Gallery and Support now show quick links to internal pages of the FontStruct website.
The latest FontStruct news, the Top Picks gallery and your own FontStructions are now just one click away!

We get a lot of positive feedback from FontStructors through email, on FontStruct threads and specially on Twitter. It feels great to give people something that makes them feel happy and creative. Thousands of FontStructors who voluntarily choose to share their work with the world are discovering this feeling too.
Of course, among all praises there are also feature requests, occasional bug reports and complaints. Interestingly, most complaints we get are targeted at one particular feature in FontStruct: the rating system.

Great achievements in type design demand a lot of work and concentration, but that doesn’t mean the design process needs to be solitary.
FontStruct is not just another font editor – it is special because it is built around the idea of sharing. FontStruct is a tool, but it is also a rich and lively community of designers who exchange ideas about type design and give feedback to each other.
The “Share” button
Today we are introducing a new “Share” button to make it even easier for FontStructors to share their creations with people outside the FontStruct community.
Popular social networking services – Facebook, Twitter, delicious, StumbleUpon, Reddit and Digg – are now just one click away, integrated into individual FontStruction pages.
Your friends and family are curious about what you have been doing all this time since you joined FontStruct? Now it’s easy to show them.
The “Remember me” check box
Preparing the ground for upcoming changes in the rating system, we are also introducing a small “Remember me” check box to the Sign In page.
Regular FontStructors can now use this feature to enter the website and start FontStructing (or voting ;-) right away, without having to sign in each time again. Note that we don’t recommend doing this on computers which you share with others — unless you want to share your account with them.

Enjoy, and let us know what you think.
