I’m kind of making up my own language with some friends, and we made up a bunch of symbols that we want to make a font for. is there any simple way to do this? we’ve got basically the exact number of symbols as there are in the alphabet, so we just need to have regular type, and then caps lock is our language.
See this tutorial: My First Font
Read the Tutorials.
You will find there are many easy ways to do what you want to accomplish.
It is far easier than you would suspect, so don’t try to make it hard.
umm… so I’ve got all my images in there, but I don’t know how I map them to the keyboard. all of the numbers it shows in “Mapping” don’t make any sense to me..
I assume you have created a new symbol font and you are now looking for a symbol to character table.
Create a new symbol font and then resize the font overview window so it shows a grid with 16 columns. Then this symbol to character table will reveal what characters are behind the cells.
Use this info at your own risk!
I’m positive the ASCII character set (the green cells) is always the same on every Windows computer, but I’m not so sure about the remaining characters as those probably depend on your systems codepage. So do let me know if this works.
