Creating Fonts

[ComicChick]

Are there any sites/programs where you can create your own fonts? That's something I'd really like to do.

Is anyone familiar with it?

im not sure, but theres a site were you can download different looking fonts
http://www.dafont.com/

[ComicChick]

yeah i've been to those sites, thank you for posting them in case others want to check em out

i just wanted to create some from my own handwriting

 

[Drakon]

If I help you with that, will you give me the font? Cause your handwriting is amazing.

 

[ComicChick]

sure

 

[Drakon]

i went to yourfonts.com and am printing out the template. i will let you know if its a success Drak

if i win the contest, can i have my font uploaded instead of a skin? lol

 

[Drakon]

I'm afraid I can't do that, ComCh.

 

[ComicChick]

ugh alright

i will however, donate it to the hype should any member want it

 

[Drakon]

That's why we love you. :heart:

Do it the old fashion way..by hand. You'll need

Ames lettering guide
T-Square
Templates
Pencil
Black Inda Ink
Various sized ink pens

i scribbled one down real quick and scanned in the template from yourfonts.com but it wants you to pay like 9-10 bucks to download the font

here's a messy screencap of what could've been.

is there a completely free alternative?

I'll check.
