BoltBait Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Does anyone around here know how to make a true type font? I'm looking for someone who has actually made one. What (preferably free) tools do I need to use? Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I've not used it, but this one instantly sprang to mind https://fontforge.github.io/en-US/ Looks like a nice graphical interface.

toe_head2001 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Looks like a nice graphical interface. Couldn't be further from the truth. It's GUI is horrible. It works though, that's what's important. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

Red ochre Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Couldn't be further from the truth. It's GUI is horrible. I agree....well, I gave up. It works though, that's what's important. You're more patient than me! Quote Red ochre Plugin pack.............. Diabolical Drawings ................Real Paintings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 The font I want to make is just icons. So, no kerning required. BTW, I'm not looking for a quick Google search (I could do that). I'm looking for someone who has successfully done this. So I can know what to expect.

Zagna Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I remember trying fontforge years ago on cygwin... it was quite easy at least that particular version. Oh yeah.... I was working on a comic font for a webcomic translation site I was in years ago and I added umlauts and other such accents to the font we used. Looks like it has changed quite a bit. It was just as easy as Inkscape back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
