On Wednesday, November 7th, 2000, George W. Williams V first published a piece of software called PfaEdit that allowed rudimentary editing of PostScript fonts. It lacked the features and polish of such prominent products as Fontographer and Font Studio, but it had one big advantage: it was free. Twenty years later, Fontographer and FontStudio are gone, and the whereabouts of George Williams are unknown, but FontForge has grown into a highly capable and mature product. It supports dozens of file formats and includes such features as spline stroking, overlap removal, and Python scripting. And it is still free software. With over 100,000 users, it is the most widely used typeface design tool in the world. It may seem anti-climactic that today's 20th anniversary release includes no major changes or new features, but it perfectly befits a product that has evolved carefully and slowly over its entire lifecycle with almost no breaking changes. Whether for the special commemorative splash screen or for the countless small improvements and fixes, we hope that you will try it. It is available, as always, on the FontForge website <https://fontforge.org/>;. The entire project team thank you for your support.
