Anyway, how do you make fonts? I would really like tot try it...
Well, making a font may seem a bit hard, but it's actually rather easy (although it requires patience).
Let's just say you want to make one out of your handwriting, so here's what you do: first you print a template character set like this one [link] (you could write in a blank paper too, but it's easier with a template), then you choose a black (preferably) marker and fill out each blank. Having completed the template, you then proceed to scan your template/paper. Save your template as a png preferably and crop out each letter and save it as one image (you could use Photoshop or Paint, both will do as you'll only crop). Finally, you use FontCreator (High Logic) [link] a wonderful program with an interface that makes it easy to use for everyone, from beginner to pro. There are other programs you could use, but I think that FontCreator is by far the best(regarding the UI and probably the price). After that, everything is up to you and here's a little extra help [link] Anyway, there are always some tutorials you could check out on the high logic site [link] Hope I helped! Have fun at font making.
