Font\Text question

[Daskunk]

I was woundering if anyone could instruct me on how to make a custom font for adobe photoshop elements 5 or Corel paintshop pro (photo x2). Unless one way of making a font works for all.


Thanks.

Well there are programs out there that you just add .png or .gif files to a sorted list and it converts it to a font file type for you.

Here's an example of such program. http://www.fontlab.com/

I do not know if you can just use photoshop to create a font, but I doubt it.

As far as I can tell, that costs money. I get the idea, though, I should be searching for "font making tools" not "How to make a custom font for corel paintshot pro".

Thanks. Thats the kinda thing I was looking for. (Only, free. )

Fonts are for every program, you actually install them into the Windows .

And I doubt there are free programs for that.

Chances are there's an opensource or freeware font studio out there somewhere.

Here's something I found.

Meh, thats what it looks like.

Unless someone can find one they get to work that can use images as the letters (So I can scan in handwriting to make a font) I'm just calling it impossible and quitting.
