importing a vector image

[ErwinDenissen]

I have been developing a font for a project and I have drawn it out in Adobe Illustrator (all the letters are vector drawings), I was wondering if I could import these vector images into FontCreator?

Native AI/EPS (or any other vector based format) is not supported, but the available import images feature does give very good results as described here:

Import Images the Right Way (Size Does Matter!)

This article explains how to successfully import bitmap based images (e.g. BMP, GIF, PNG) into FontCreator. If you are looking for tips about importing vector based images, then read this tutorial: From Vector (e.g. an Adobe Illustrator image) to Font Each month we receive numerous questions about how to improve the quality of imported glyphs. Some people ask how to reduce the number of points that make up a contour, while others want more detail. In both situations it is far better to prevent…

as the font I am developing needs to be stroked (what I mean is just the outline - not filled in)

It is not possible to make single stroke TrueType or OpenType fonts, because the glyph shapes consist of a series of closed contours and you need open contours to make a single line font.
