I really want to make some fonts but don't know where to start... Does anyone know any program that let's you make fonts?
Honestly if you don't know then don't post a lmgtfy link, it only proves that you are no knowledgeable on the subject...
Um also my os is windows but it would be nice if it was cross-compiled for linux :3

No clue, but I can suggest fonts to make.

slinger · 2012-02-19 10:10:43

Lol, ok tongue

Dinoclor · 2012-02-19 10:36:18

You can make fonts in inkscape.

Try looking at this

slinger · 2012-02-19 10:52:08

tongue Of course, I've already looked at most of those link...

veggieman001 · 2012-02-19 11:22:59

FontForge is the only competent free one I've seen, although it's bloody complicated

slinger · 2012-02-19 12:29:13

Yeah, I'm attempting to install it 0-o

wolvesstar97 · 2012-02-19 12:38:41

I've had FontForge before, I couldn't figure it out!! I couldnt figure out how to draw the letters.

You can't just draw them.

Yeah. You can't draw them, you have to use like vectors and stuff

Thats what I couldnt figure out! I tried to make an "A", and it went all weird.

slinger · 2012-02-19 13:10:27

That would be why tongue

Wickimen · 2012-02-19 13:36:50

I looked into that awhile ago and found a site, but then I realized I was too lazy to
And I forgot the name of it D:

slinger · 2012-02-19 13:38:08

I actually found a site that looked awesome too, but if you want someone to install one of your fonts they have to pay money >.>

fungirl123 · 2012-02-19 13:52:28

Wait do you mean Fontstruct.com?
I think that's a website where you can make your own fonts for free but you you have to sign up
Yeah I wanted to make my own fonts and I asked this awhile ago and the only good one I found was FontForge and that was for Linux or something
I would have joined Fontstruct but I don't feel like signing up for random websites
But I think it's good for beginners

slinger · 2012-02-19 14:11:35

I have fontforge now :p it's for mac windows and linux :3

luiysia · 2012-02-19 15:10:02

Making fonts is pretty cool, I have a book on digital calligraphy (from 2003, so not so recent hmm ). It suggests Fontlab and Fontographer, which offers free demos, and if you're not planning to make a lot of fonts you could try it.

hmm... interesting, i'll look into it :3

nathanprocks · 2012-02-20 04:07:05

Try FontStruct. It is awesome, fast and you don't have to install anything! And I think Windows fonts do work in Linux. (They do for me anyway.)

slinger · 2012-02-20 05:31:01

Hmm, ok. I'll try it :]
