{{Short description|Software that creates or modifies fonts}} A '''font editor''' is a class of application software specifically designed to create or modify font files.<ref>{{cite web |title=What is Font Editors? |url=https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-font-editors-uses-how-works-top-w8ewf |website=linkedin.com |access-date=November 6, 2025}}</ref> Font editors differ greatly depending on if they are designed to edit bitmap fonts or outline fonts. Most modern font editors deal with the outline fonts. Bitmap fonts use an older technology and are most commonly used in console applications. The bitmap font editors were usually very specialized, as each computing platform had its own font format. One subcategory of bitmap fonts is text mode fonts.
