Hey guys to all the people who make fonts, what programs/software do you use, I really want to make some pixel fonts and submit them, but I don’t know where to start, any ideas!

Well you can find a font creator, they are expensive though.

Windows has it’s own app to do it, go Start > Run > type ‘eudcedit’ (no quotes).

hey apearce! I’ve never made a font myself, but i think there are a few choices of programs you can look at including lots of high powered programs.

You might want to look at SimpleFont though which seems to be exclusively for pixel fonts and has a free trial.

They have a tutorial called Your First Pixel Font which sounds like its made for you :-)

Otherwise here is a big resource of font making stuff…

No problem! Hey I’ve always wondered, what does the ‘a’ in apearce stand for?

My name is Andrew Pearce, its just a combination, (its pronouce a-pearce, if anybody is really interested) it was the only nickname I could find on AOL , about 2 years ago, so I just stuck with it! Is Collis your first name?

Personally, I like to download various fonts from the internet. “dafont.com” has some great typefaces that you can download for free that are different that the typical typefaces that Flash, Photoshop, and Illustrator have.
