Big A HG Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I didn't know where to put this, so if the mods feel the need to move it, feel free. I figured this would be something that could help a lot of people if someone could find the answer.I'm looking for freeware that you can upload vector images and it would turn it into a font for you. For example, let's say you make an alphabet in your graphic arts program. You'd then upload each image into the software for each specific letter, and out pops your new font.There's something that I know of from a few years back and haven't been able to re-find it in searching. I know there are sites you can custom make a font with the little grid and a block system, but that seems tedious and time consuming in the long run and limits your abilities.

Big A HG Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 $99 is relatively reasonable, but still more than I'd be willing to pay for something I'm not really going to get $99 worth out of.Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess not.I appreciate the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAB Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Fontstruct is a good site if you're willing to put some time and effort into creating a font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
