HND - Fonty Things

If you were here last week you will know it is staff training day today, however, I am grabbing 5 minutes to quickly write a post linking you to all kinds of free fonty resources. This project will officially begin after Christmas, but in the meantime I will send you some prep work.

If you have time, you might want to look at these programes and get some idea of how font creation software works.

I haven't had time to check all of them out, and as usual you download and install at your own risk. (Just thought I had better add that) :oP

And here they are...

http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/

http://musashi.or.tv/ttedit.htm (I hope your Japanese is good)

http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~fine/Tech/bdfedit.html (Linux only methinks)

http://www.bluewind.it/products.html#bitfont (fun, but limited)

http://doubletype.org/wiki/index.php/DoubleType (still in Alpha but you may want to try it)

http://www.fontconstructor.com/screenshots/index.html (Mac only, but looks good)

For the project...

We will most likely be using one or both of the following however:

Happy days.
