Cool Fonts

Hey!

I'm busy making a new font, and it's called Circle+. When I'm done, I'll post a download link. I don't really know when I'll be done... I'll also post a compressed .zip file containing the original .SVGs. (All SVG files are made with Inkscape.)

when gf clicked
open [Inkscape v]
repeat until <all characters made?>
  make character [next unmade character v]
  add (most recently made character) to [all characters v]
end
if <not <FontForge Installed?>>
  download [FontForge v]
  install [FontForge v]
end
open [FontForge v]
Import (all characters) into [fontforge v]
save as [ttf v]
upload [ttf v]
share [ttf v]

You can use FontForge, although it's relatively difficult on Windows.

That's exactly what I'm using! I'm using a Japanese pre-built version for Windows (http://www.geocities.jp/meir000/fontforge/fontforge-cygwin_2012_04_11.zip extract contents and take out the line that says "set LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8" in the fontforge.bat file, then make a shortcut to it on desktop. Then it should work fine). I'm using Inkscape to make the letters.

I'm not really sure... Here's a pic of some of the letters that I already made:

I'm not really sure how to incorporate the Golden Ratio into a font...

I have used FontStruct before, but it is very limited. Fontforge uses SVG files to make fonts, and therefore you have greater possibilities.

Re: Cool Fonts

This is taking much longer than expected...

Sorry about the slow development. I've been working on Migilang.
