Need help to find a program

Herb,
>Save as type: TTF - Truetype font

Interesting that Corel can do that, albeit in a less-than-optimum way. Of course it creates just one font format, and unfortunately, not OpenType. But, I wonder how compliant with font standard specs Corel TT fonts are...

He already has a program that can make fonts. Corel Draw!

Yes, the best is Fontlab. but he can create a font directly from Corel
Draw like this:

FILE/Export
Save as type: TTF - Truetype font

(In some older versions of Corel Draw, it may be in the File/SaveAs
dialog box instead of in the File/Export box)

You can only save one character at a time to a font, and the process
isn't obvious. Google for

Create fonts Corel Draw

and you'll find many tutorials and explanations of exactly how to do it.

Daniel,

The best for proper font creation in the standard font formats is FontLab for Macintosh and Windows. But it is expensive and has a steep learning curve.

There is other software that is less expensive and has an easier learning curve. But I have no idea about how good these are. All have limitations. Some may have free trial downloads. These include:

FontCreator (Win)
Fontographer (Mac/Win)
ScanFont (Mac/Win)
TypeTool (Mac/Win)
