Hello,
I am using evaluation version of Font Creator. I have created three fonts 1) A vertical Line 2) A horizontal line 3) a Curve (like an arc)
Using these fonts, I am able to type these fonts in a notepad besides each other Till now, it perfect.
But my requirement does not stop there. After typing the first font, when I type the second font, the second font should not be typed next. Instead it is start from the end point of first font. In result, i need to get a shapte like L.
1. Is it possible?
2, Do we need to do any program coding to achieve this result? If so, how to do that.
Thanks!

Re: How to join two glyphs
Moved to the correct forum and renamed topic
I assume that you mean three glyphs, not three fonts. A font is a full set of glyphs, usually at least A-z, while a glyph is a single letter or symbol within a font.
To have the glyphs connect when they are typed in succession, you need to make the side-bearings = zero.
For example: in many fonts, the hyphen has side-bearings ----- so typing them in succession gives a broken line. However, the underscore glyph has zero side-bearings _____ so typing them in succession gives an unbroken line.
