What's New in Fontise
1.5.4
November 10, 2026
• A new font engine: your strokes become smooth curves that stay crisp at any size, and Apple Pencil pressure flows naturally from thin to thick. • Better spacing: letters sit on the line and are spaced to fit their shape, with kerning for pairs like "To" and "Va". • "…", "—" and other characters your keyboard inserts now appear in your handwriting. • Vietnamese: draw your letters and eight accents once, and every accented letter is assembled for you. Draw over any of them to make it your own. • Fonts you already made are upgraded automatically. • Finish now asks only for a name and opens your font right away. • Chat stays calm on a weak connection and shows "Connecting…" in the title, like other messengers.
