Cool! I'd love to see a sample when it's finished!

Hmm they are missing? I was sure I mane an ñ and Ñ... They are shown on the font page >>

It might be that the encoding is wrong. If it's a problem, I can easily make an Opentype font, and you can see if that works. I might double check the encoding, too.

A clean serif could look relaxing and peaceful:

Let me know if you use it!

Crazy.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Not a problem.... I thought it could be more useful to people with them.

GIMP works great. You can do anything with it you can do with photoshop (and a few things you can't do with photoshop easily), although a few things require some trickery to do properly. If you don't like GIMP, you can use Sumopaint, http://www.sumopaint.com/app/ , it works extremely well, and is a bit more like photoshop as far as the interface goes.

Also, if you're in school (or college), look into an educational discount, it's a LOT cheaper.

I worked forever on Neuton, and I haven't seen it used yet! Though it has been featured on a couple blogs, and it's (at the moment) on page 1 of the Basic/Serif page. Don't know how long that'll last.

I think quality is a factor for fonts people pay for, mostly. Because, if the high quality free fonts were the most popular ones, well I think the top fonts on here would look a little different. But it really depends on what you consider "quality", like what an experienced graphic designer, who studied in school, and does product branding for work, probably would consider quality to be a different thing than teenagers making posters. Yet I think there's a quality to that. And so it might be what is the most useful. For most free font users, their use will probably be for posters, or tshirts, or bands, or anything that's used in short spurts of texg. So trends would play a large role because of that.

Also, I should note that grunge has been the trend since some time in the eighties, though it's been more or less popular at times.

Thanks Bito. I'm working on it right now, and will have it fixed and updated!

I use Fontforge. I really haven't tried much of anything else. So far I've only made this font: http://www.dafont.com/neuton.font

My favorite is probably either Minion or Caslon, because they are classic, and also very readable.
I also like Quadraat by Fred Smeijers

Does anyone have any thoughts or critiques on my font, http://www.dafont.com/neuton.font ?

Thanks!
