Altfont presents a tool for adjusting a replacement font’s metrics so text can change typefaces while keeping its layout closer to the original.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-06 issue.

For: Designers replacing fonts without changing layout
Worth noticing: Its current correction sample covers 95 English letters, digits, and basic punctuation; Korean and other scripts require separate validation.

Field notes

The workflow accepts an original font file in TTF, OTF, WOFF, or WOFF2, or lets users start by searching a font name when reference data exists. It compares per-character advances, pair spacing (examples include AV, To, and Wa), and line metrics; the page says ZIP output includes a license, change record, and verification report. Correction samples currently cover 95 English letters, digits, and basic punctuation, not Korean.
