Creating Fonts with Inkscape and FontForge | Table of Contents
Hi. This is a series of step-by-step tutorials that I'm writing. In each one, I create a new font with only a few letters to introduce a new feature.
This series is specifically targeted at people wo want to create a font for their conscripts. I started writing it to share what I learned about font creation while working on two other fonts, and I remember being helped on this subreddit for the first one.
In order to complete these tutorial, you will need :
- FontForge
- Inkscape
- recommended : Libreoffice Writer is what I use to preview the fonts.
Please follow the tutorials from the beginning, as some things only get explained once, and my instructions get more and more abstract as I progress.
