Now, let me tell you this: Fonts are Vectors, basically a bunch of mathematical equations which govern the shape, curve and thickness of the lines, etc.That I told you to throw away, so if you haven't yet, do it now. The source ttf file (or otf or whatever), not the image you just edited in MS Paint. So, once you have font-forge, open the font in it.

But there are some good manuals out there, so you can give some more time to it and you'll become better in a day or two. Fontforge is a free program, but from what little time I tried it, it seemed very hard for me. You'll need a program which can edit fonts.

You may also learn how to make your own fonts (which is not so hard, but will require considerable practice initially). Good news: You will, in the least, start understanding how much technology and work goes behind creating those beautiful shapes you are reading right now. Some things I tell here may not be present as such in font-forge, but there must be an equivalent. But it's expensive, so I'm guessing font-forge would be what you'll use. So, basically all your work has to be thrown out of the window.Īlso, I've not used font-forge, but have used Fontlab, and the UI is a little more helpful there. There is good news and there is bad news.īad news: You just created a bitmap. Too bad I can't make my finger vary in thickness or pressure for Chinese calligraphy. I'm trying to become a professional artist, so I've already created some digital art I like with a strange program called Fresh Paint with really cool background paper. Anyone out there care to take a gander at educating me? I have no money to purchase design tools, as I'm still paying for my touch screen computer. I also disliked some of the numbers, so I fixed those too. What I did was shrink all alphabet letters to a lower height and added legible diacritics of suitable height and sharpness in super-zoom mode. I realize I may not be able to understand you answer, but humor me, if you wish. I suppose when I actually print it, the computer will magically make the diacritic completely reappear, but it does not show up in my text document word processor on my computer, especially for capital letter diacritics. Esperanto requires some rather spectacular diacritics which just don't work with usual fonts. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to plug it into FontForge. I was unsatisfied with all other fonts I found available, so I used my artistic flair to shape a new font face. I wish to print this on real paper and publish on the web. I have used Microsoft Paint to tweak a Gentium Book Type to suit my own publishing needs for a public domain esperanto Bible.
