What file type is best?

I always thought TT was

Koeiekat is kindly looking at the file for.

I can type with it not clashing in Linotype Font Explorer which is what I use as my font library.

It's InDesign and Illustrator that it clashes.

???

Hello,

I've been creating a font using FontForge.

Spent the last two days kerning the hell out of the letters.

I've generated a TrueType font and begun to use it, but there are some glitches with characters clashing.

After looking back into the FontForge file these letters are not clashing and have a good kern.

Any ideas?

Thanks guys! You are truly a great set of mentors.
I hope to share something with you soon

Any tips Koeiekat?

Hey Claude, Thanks for the reply.

However it doesn't seem to work.

Don't worry though, I'll come back to this later.

It seems I have a huge job of kerning now

Cheers,

Olly


Mar 13, 2013 at 12:43  [initial post]  FontForge question.

I'm creating a font in FontForge (importing SVG vectors).

There will only be capitals in this font and I'm wondering before I begin kerning everything:

Is there a way of copying characters with all their settings... ie. Copy A to a.

Just copying in the Edit menu is not working.

Thanks!

I managed to import a character as an SVG file.

Now trying to work out how to use software.

Thanks for reading.

Hi,

I'm having problems importing EPS's into FontForge.

It just crashes.

Have tried saving as legacy CS4 EPS.

Any tips?

Thanks in advance.

If I could find some free software, I'd do it myself. Any pointers?


Mar 03, 2013 at 19:04  [initial post]  Help with font creation.

Hi,

I have created an alphabet using vector shapes in illustrator and would love to see this created into a file which can be used as a font.

You can view a sample here: http://cargocollective.com/ollywood/Rodondo

I'm looking for someone who has font building software and would be willing to input the shapes, kern, etc and produce a file which can be shared.

I do not wish to make any money just share my work.

Therefore I have no money to offer but am willing for us to be co-creators of the font and our names on it.

Anyone willing to help?

Cheers,

Olly
