size and generating
Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2017 1:01 pm
Hi would like to know about creating and generating type. I use corel draw to create shapes and typeface/sets. I am currently looking at a situation I have faced many times. When I have all of the characters done for my typeface. I put 1 character per page. As ive done in the past. I encountered that working out the measurement of the letters in corel is different than in your font program. How can I set the height of a letter to a 1000 px or pts etc... measurement in corel that matches for example if I want the height to be 1000 in your program. When I export each character within corel. Via export/overwrite font character by character to make full font in corel via exporting. then when I open my typeface in font creator its a totally different size.
I don't know what measure your program has. meaning is the height in pts or pixels? as there are rulers top and left of screen.
how can I set a height in corel to match the height I want in font creator?
As if for example I want the height to be 1000 in font creator. But when I export the character to a 1000 in any measurement its never extact. if I take a capital letter either as postscript or typeface and export it there is always a different in height.
