How would I go about creating my own font?

Post by fezaabia »

How would I go about creating my own font? I can't find the 'perfect' font for a particular logo. How would I go about creating my own? I have Illustrator and Photoshop. Assuming I could create a set of alphabetic characters, would I be able to use them via Photoshop in the same way other PS fonts work? thanks,

If you have Illustrator then you can create your letters in that, or do it directly in FontCreator. The drawing tools in FontCreator are more basic than you will find in Illustrator.

Watch my tutorial on Drawing Contours in FontCreator 11.0.

Import of vector images is much faster and somewhat better than importing bitmaps.
