Hi, I just bought FontCreator 11 and shall start my first project with this software.
As I am a webdesigner I mainly use fontediting software for modify webfonts when I need some special shaping and editing as this time.
I have a webfont that is outlined (black stroke), but when using it in website editing software I can't give it a white body. It's transparent by default.
In design software such as Adobe Illustrator I can do this and export the headline as a PNG with exactly the look I want, but this is not a option because I will edit the headlines very often.
So... is it possible in FontCreator to create a colored font and export in the different font formats that I need for the web; .eot, .svg, ttf, woff ??
Is there a tutorial, that I can't find
Very grateful for tips

Re: Coloring font - making white body in outline font
There is a tutorial on creating multicoloured fonts, but creating a font with a single colour (white or whatever) is a lot easier. It hardly needs a tutorial.
Assuming that you're starting with an outline font (mine was not, so I applied an Outline Transformation to the selected glyphs first):

- Select the glyphs that you wish to colorize
- Show the Palette (Shift F2)
- Select the colour that you want (white)
- Right-click on the selected glyphs
- Colorize the selected glyphs
- Test as a web font (WOFF) with Ctrl+F5
Re: Coloring font - making white body in outline font
Hi Bhikkhu, thanks for your fast reply. No problem for me to make the different font formats. The real guestion is as I mensioned, a black outline and a white body. That's two colors. Black and white. Do you have a solution for that?
Gracias

The font in my screen shot has a black outline and a white body, instead of a black outline and a transparent body.

Ahh ok Bhikkhu, now I understand... Gracias. Was misunderstanding.
