not too sure about the latest greatest versions but coreldraw has a truetype import export filter that can be used to create custom fonts,...I recall having to do a custom install to load the import/export filter in order bto be able to create a font and there was quite a learning curve on setting up a page to draw the font on and then create the font,...but once you get started it isn't all that difficult,...I think it was version 7 they started this,...
Welp,
I (our I.T. guy) got Font Forge installed, and it seems very straightforward since I'm making the glyphs in Illustrator and just using F.F. to import the graphic and export it as a font. However, once I click the import button in F.F., it crashes. I started using CS4 .eps, and the crash was immediate. Went all the way to Ai3.eps and instead of crashing/closing, F.F. just froze up. I'm going to try .svg format, although F.F.'s author recommends .eps from AI, and .svg from Corel. Next I will install a copy of Corel, but I'm a heck of a lot more efficient in Ai.
Anyone know what mistake I'm making?
Thanks for the advice!
PFB is the default format displayed in the import dialogue box of F.F.- I was switching to .eps, but will give the PFB route a shot.
Thanks!
Illustrator and Corel both support PFB. Using Illy with FontLab
you can also just cut and past. Let us know what works.
