How To Create Your Own Fonts & Characters on Windows
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010FontCreator – the most popular font editor!
With more than 2.5 million downloads, FontCreator is the world’s most popular font editing software. It has an intuitive interface that allows beginners to become productive immediately and it contains the powerful drawing tools that font designers require to create and edit high-quality TrueType and OpenType fonts.
When you create or open a font, FontCreator displays an overview of all available characters. You can simply add missing characters, or select an existing character, and modify its appearance. You can import (scanned) images of your signature or company logo, or make a font from your own handwriting. With FontCreator you can also fix character mappings, font names, kerning pairs, and at all times you can preview your fonts before installing.
In the Professional Edition, font validation features enable you to improve the quality of your fonts. Tools to join contours simplify and speed up the glyph design process. Powerful transformation scripts let you create hundreds of additional characters in seconds. FontCreator’s intelligent generation of composites allows you to automatically generate outlines for more than 2,200 (mostly accented) characters.
Whether you’re a type designer or graphic artist who needs a font creation powerhouse, or a hobbyist who wants to have fun creating new fonts, FontCreator has the tools you need.

Know Some Font Details
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010
This is a True Type version of Fedra Serif, specially hinted for the Clear Type rasterizer. A multilingual contemporary low-contrast serif typeface with short descenders and ascenders intended to work at extremely small sizes.
A display version of Plan Grotesque with space saving proportions. The typeface is appealing in large signage as well as traditional print use. The stencil cuts emphasise the stroke terminals and give the typeface a crisp, playful character.
Klimax is a display typeface with four styles and OpenType features meant for use at extremely large sizes. Klimax includes two basic styles, Plus and Minus — the heaviest and the lightest possible styles that can be made.
A display typeface system consisting of 21 layers inspired by the evolution of typography. These 21 independent typefaces share widths and other metric information so that they can be endlessly recombined.
The first full IPA font to treat the glyphs as individual letterforms drawn according to the same principles as Fedra Serif rather than just mirroring existing glyphs. Designed for use in dictionaries.
Nara escapes traditional type classification. It exhibits characteristics of humanist typefaces, but also modern typefaces. It comes with two different styles for emphasis—narrow upright cursive, and slanted italic.
