WebFont overview
WebFont is a font processing client. It can export specific glyphs to SVG, PDF and PNG files. The color and size of the output can be set in preferences.
What's new in version 2.1.0
This update expands WebFont from a font conversion and subsetting utility into a fuller web font production tool.
- Added Font Builder for creating icon fonts and web fonts from outlined SVG artwork.
- Added source font editing, so SVG glyphs can be added to an imported TrueType-based font or used to replace existing Unicode glyphs while keeping stable glyph IDs.
- Added .webfontproject project files with embedded source font data, SVG glyphs, build settings, output options, and replacement targets.
- Added Preflight Check for Unicode conflicts, duplicate glyph names, empty paths, abnormal SVG sizes, metric issues, unsupported SVG features, and overly complex artwork.
- Added SVG template export with baseline and bounds guides for preparing Font Builder artwork.
- Improved Text to SVG for turning words, phrases, and multi-line text into portable SVG outlines using the loaded font.

Version: 1.7
This is a fairly old and relatively stagnant app from 2016 that was recently added to the Mac App Store with added support for Dark Mode. It only supports TTF and WOFF font formats. I've verified that it cannot work with TTC or OTF fonts. It runs fine on macOS 10.14.6. It has some nice uses as a method for exporting font glyphs singly or in batches as PNG, SVG and PDF formats in any size and color. This is of interest to those creating web pages without having to worry about coding in actual web fonts. Note that you can do the same thing using most imaging apps, such as GraphicConverter. Therefore, it may be redundant to software you already have. But it's free. - - What it very much needs is an update to support all modern font formats. Otherwise, it's considerably hobbled. Therefore, I can't give it more than two stars.
