Modify an existing font by adding an "X" over it..

FontCreator - Font Editor FontCreator - Support

Hi,

Please be patient with me… this is the first time I’ve had to create a font and the first time using FontCreator. I’ve read the manual but am still quite confused. :confused:

I need to take an existing font and place an “X” over it. Sounds simple enough… :unamused:

I’ve renamed the existing font and have opened up and tried to edit but am getting absolutely no where… :blush:

Can someone help me with this first time creation??? It would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks so much :stuck_out_tongue:

  • Open the uppercase X in the glyph edit window (double-click, enter)
  • Copy the X glyph contour to the clipboard.
  • Press Alter Right to move to the Y
  • Paste in the X glyph
  • Reposition or resize horizontally using the mouse until it looks good
  • Press Alter Right to move to the Z
  • Repeat
  • Press Alt Left to move back to the W
  • Repeat for the rest of the Capitals
  • Close the glyph edit window
  • Open again for the lowercase x
  • Repeat the process for the lowercase glyphs
  • Repeat using X or x for the remaining digits etc.
