Would it be possible to make the manual kerning pairs like the preview where you can place a glyph on either side of a character, so you could do for example " N A N "instead of just a pair as is now example "N A" this would greatly speed up the process when having to manually ke...

Well attached is a sample of my first OTF font I have created with FontCreator 7.5 it is a Monument Modified Roman font that only has upper case letters & numbers. Seem to work OK in Corel Draw 6. Sure it needs some work but for my first one not a bad attempt at using this program to create it, ...

The reason I mentioned the program is the ability to take non TTF fonts that someone may have from a professional type foundry such as Bit Stream Fonts and can not find a specific match from another font maker, this program gives one the means of converting it to TTF or other types of font that may ...

Thanks for the reply, have several similar font styles family,with different serif sizes that I need to make TTF fonts, this will save me hours of manually kerning each new font and give the fonts similar kerning. For the Monument fonts I need to make the font's bar widths are closer in size since t...

There is a web site called MyFonts.com that will let you import a bitmap image of the font your trying to identify, and they will analyze it to help you determine what it is or closely matches. Sort of like your statement What's The Font. Hope this helps Found this info out under Corel Draw 6 has a ...

Years ago 1992 to be exact I purchased a TTF font conversion software program that allowed you to convert several different font types in other type fonts for various uses in other software, plus had the ability to convert normal fonts into outline fonts, bold, etc. Think I paid about $50 for it, ca...

The true type fonts I want to make will be used in Gerber Omega 5, a sign making program I use for Monumental Drafting, Letter size normally vary from 3/4" to 5" in size for use in drawings. When doing the vector outline for the font how tall should the upper case be made to reproduce well...

After I Kern a font and have the spacing kern values where I can save as a ttf font, is there a way I can save all those kern pairs to use again in font of the same style, if so how? Would be nice would save lots of time if I could import values to fonts of similar styles.

Thanks for the info I have just purchased the new Create Font 7.5 version Professional so I have the ability to use the auto kern feature, I have seen the before and after letter for kerning on the font I am presently working on, but not sure how to change them as shown in your example.

Ooops! Sorry I had caps on, When I draft I use only upper Alphabet Characters most of the time so I have Caps Lock on, forgot to take it off for above responses.

Need help on program setting for auto kerning have spent several hours manually kerning pairs after using auto kerning ending with to much white space from character to character and character to punctuation.

What I have learned so far has help me answer some of the issues I had been having with the Demo version of this program. I have exporte...

I agree to disagree. I have been using CAD and CAS software for over 30 years, having a product that is easy to use is very important to new users and long time users, look at Apple apps, iPad,iPhone- why are they so many users ease of use. I know there is lots of info on this site on how to use the...

Thanks for the fast reply. I think you could sell more font creation program if it is more easy to use. Your FontCreator app reminds me of a microwave oven which has a ton of features that most people generally know about, but never use, as long as there is a minute + button and a popcorn button on ...
