TOKYO (MacHouse) – We thought we switched over to iOS and game development a few months ago. Well, we are pretty much back to Mac OS X software development again. In fact, we submitted our second software title of the month to Mac App Store several hours ago. This new software title is called FonVee.

FonVee is similar to our existing software title called FontsView and FontsView2. FonVee lets you create images out of styled text, utilizing font typefaces. Bold and italic are most common font typefaces. There are more like condensed, light, medium, oblique and slated. So FonVee lets you use these font typefaces to make beautiful styled text. And you can save it as an image file with a click of a toolbar button without letting the application prompt you to name a file. If you click on Export button, FonVee will just send a text image to your shared folder. So you can continue to work on your styled text without interruption.
