How do you make your own font? What programs do you need?
Any help would be great. Thanks |

They're not programs. The first is a tutorial (which requires somewhat professional software), and the second doesn't seem to work.
[ http://www.high-logic.com/fontcreator.html ] That one has a free trial, but is still cheaper than Macromedia's font creation software. [ http://pentacom.jp/soft/ex/font/edit.html ] That is a web-based pixel font maker, which you might find useful. [ http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/CA3DB33B-837...A-8F20E6EDD922/ ] Hidden program in Windows that allows you to do the same things. Although, not everyone has that. And if you're looking for fonts ...

So I decided to try out Fontlab- it works well, but when I made my font (I drew it & scanned it) the letter spacing was very large. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

hm, I've never had that problem before.
fontlab's web site has a technical support area. [http://www.fontlab.com/Support/Technical-Support/] try that?
