Hi, sorry for the newbie questions.
I just bought FontCreator, I made a font from my handwriting just to get the hang of it. It has the entire alphabet and a lot of the symbols, though not all of them because I just won’t need them. I got the spacing on every character the way I want it, it looks good for my purposes, so I saved the font and copied the file from the Windows font folder after it had been installed.
Then I copied that onto my Macbook so I could use the Area type tool in Illustrator, but I ran into a bit of a problem.
The kerning is all shifted around, so now some of the letters run into each other a little bit, even though I had it all sorted out not to do that. Other letters are much further apart from each other, which I also didn’t have it set at. I’m also missing a couple of characters (so far it just seems to be the ’ and " that are missing, even though I know I made those).
I’m sure I just screwed up some how but I don’t quite have a handle on some of the finer points of the program, so I’m not really sure what happened or why it’s a little screwed up on my Mac. If anybody has any insight as to what I’m doing wrong, I’d greatly appreciate it.
