Well I decided to make a font out of this little code that a friend of mine and myself came up with just for kicks, but its proving to be more painful that I anticipated. I have created a .BDF file of my font using a simple bitmap font editor and from there I started up FontForge and opened the .bdf file. I used the Generate Font feature and saved the .bdf file as a .ttf file (I have tried with both the (symbol) option and the one without). Yet when I view the font in Font Viewer, I see nothing, neither on Windows or Linux. I don't see what I am doing wrong, any help would be great. If anyone needs anymore info, please just ask.

I have no font making knowledge whatsoever. But have you tried googling it? There are many sites that has a tutorial on how to make fonts.
