Thank you for the reply. Do the rectangles need to be all the same size for each letter?

I get donations for my fonts now an then, it's really not much, but considered that I made the fonts just for fun it's quite nice
I also started a shop on CreativeMarket recently to sell fonts (actually there IS an evaluation process, you have to apply for opening a shop. However, after that you can upload whatever you want, that's correct), and I'm curious how this will develop

Thanks for the info!

Also in your experience what would you recommend for the licensing method?

The fonts I make are not the kind that gets the most attention but I am happy with the little attention my fonts get on this site.

As for $$$ part, I got much more than I ever imagined I would get for my fonts.

That's awesome to hear. For me any appreciation of anything I've created is good to me or good feedback.

Also in your experience what is the best licensing format would recommend?


Jul 29, 2016 at 22:27  [initial post]  (Question) Letter Alignment and SVG/ EPS layout

Hello,

I'm going through a Font creation tutorial for Illustrator and I'm not understanding the set up part for each of the letters for SVG/EPS export.

I am using Illustrator CC and will be using a third party tool like Fontforge to set up the font package.

1. When exporting each letter or symbol do the fonts need to be all aligned to the middle?

2. Does each letter need need to fit inside the canvas at the max edges?

2. Do each of the letter SVG or EPS canvas sizes (exported) needs to be the same for all uppercase, lowercase and symbols?

Any help appreciated and thanks in advanced.

IMO if your intention is to make money, sell your fonts. There are several sites where you can sell your fonts. CreativeMarket is popular nowadays and has a very lax policy when it comes to things for sale - no evaluation process at all.

If you are going to post a font here at Dafont, do not raise your expectations too high or you will be very disappointed. However, based on experience, more donations will come your way through Dafont than any other free font sites. GoogleFonts was not considered because it is not an open font archive.

What kind of fonts, get the most donations? Look at the fonts that are heavily downloaded and those fonts are likely the ones that get the most donations/money here. Unfortunately, mine are not among those fonts.

Thanks you I appreciate the info. Don't lose your hopes maybe the next one will be top font.

Hello,

I'm new to the typography genre. I was wondering if people on here make money from submitting fonts or is it only from donations? How does it all work and are they multiple ways to earn money?
