FontStruct

[Jacorre]

FontStruct is a free font-building tool brought to you by the world’s leading retailer of digital type, FontShop. FontStruct lets you quickly and easily create fonts constructed out of geometrical shapes, which are arranged in a grid pattern, like tiles or bricks. You create ‘FontStructions’ using the ‘FontStructor’ font editor. Once you’re done building, FontStruct generates high-quality TrueType fonts, ready to use in any Mac or Windows application.

Hey, that's pretty cool. I've always wanted to get into creating my own fonts. But I'm sure this isn't the proper, normal way, is it? lol

I'll still give it a try, though. Thanks.

Well, when I need a custom font I mostly make bitmaps for every letter, and than later on put them al together in.....whats it called.....well I haven't done it in a long time...

But fontshop progies are most of the time pretty expensive, but high quality as well.

Yeah, I'm not exactly made of money here. lol

I suppose there isn't a way to create them in Illustratoror or something, is there?

The site was a bit slow and freezy on my pc, but im gonna look into it a bit more later.
I have wanted to be able to make my own fonts again. ever since I quit usin MULTISCRIBE on my old apple IIc

I haven't tried using the program but it's free so not sure why anyone's worried about the cost!

I have made fonts using Corel Draw. The program has the option to export a font file.
