0 usr.bin Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Check out this site. From the article: Download the Chris Pirillo font if you'd like to see an example of a custom font. He made his own font using a different program called ScanFont from FontLab. Currently, the Windows version of this program costs $199. --dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 akaladis Veteran Posted April 10, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 10, 2003 yeah i know how to make fonts... actually i have made some... but i always droped them after a while, since i never had enough time for fonts... you need special programs, LOTSA time and a very patient mind... I have used program like ScanFont (mentioned somewhere here), Macromedia Fontographer 4.1, High-Logic Font Creator 3.1. You will also need a Vector-based imaging program such as Adobe Illustrator and Corel DRAW... Here's what I can say about them: 1. ScanFont: GREAT Program... Its worth much more than what it costs. You can actually scan anything and almost automatically convert it into a font... 2. Fontographer: Its an old program, but prolly one of the best... It requires a lot of hours to learn though... 3. Font Creator: Its a quite easy program to use, but its very limited. -------------------------------------- 4. Illustrator: Great program as you prolly know... 5. DRAW: Dunno! Never EVER used it... Why do you need a vector-based program? Well because your font must be able to resize it self without getting ugly... thus your font wont be any kind of picture... it will be a bunch of mathematic formulas to say i.e curve there, straight line here etc... /Raptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
