Consequently, even a great type designer like Adrian Frutiger made slanted romans with his sans serif designs, and it was only recently, when his Frutiger typeface (1977) was redrawn in 2000, now with a real italic instead of a slanted roman, that he acknowledged that a real italic makes a better contrast with the roman.

 Fontographer versus Type-Designer (4)
See Figure 22: it suffices to click on a character to select it, in order that appear three lines which represent the left border (L), the kerning (K) and the right border (R), that you can move to modify the corresponding data.
With this last software, it is also often difficult to realize the alignment of the inferior character part for the v and the w, despite "hints" and alignment zones.
As for Type 1 fonts, Type-Designer knows the "hint replacement", but ignores, contrarily to Fontographer, the "flex" technique (that allow to suppress, in smaller sizes where such a nuance can not be correctly rendered, the incurvation of serifs in fonts like Garamond or Palatino), as well as (to see supra) composite characters.
