Hello All, I remember that in Corel 5 or 6 you could create fonts.. I never used it.. but now I need to create some fonts, is there an option in the new X5? or do you guys suggest a program?
Foster have some good insights on this, but here is one as well.http://theboutons.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=21&Itemid=428

Hi,
in the past (and to be fair to you I've not done this for ages) I've created the characters in Draw and then created the fontset itself in TypeTool. It's not the most comprehensive of font creation software, but if the job you have in mind isn't too demanding TypeTool is really easy to use and understand. Inexpensive as well. I really must start playing with it again - it means risking repetitive-strain injury with Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V all the time though :o)
Best,
Paul

Its a profession, font making ;-)I have made a font myself using CorelDRAW, a full swedish alphabet. It takes time. But if you are not making a whole alphabet then maybe you can use a font that already excist and make adjustments to it?
