Pick Counterpunch if…
It suits font designers who need complex-script shaping, variable-font editing, or a Python environment. It is not optimized for mobile operating systems.
Pick Runebender if…
Runebender may suit font designers working with UFO or Designspace sources who are comfortable with alpha software and installing a native app from source. Its experimental browser build is available for local use, but is not recommended for real work.
