Anyone know how to make fonts?

Hey guys - just wondering if anyone knows how to make fonts? maybe you could attempt to make a font for the registration of aircraft... a good example of this lettering is this :

Sorry if the picture is ment to be a specific size.

                      Many thanks.

Chances are the font is already available somewhere.  Look around the myriad of font sites and see if you can find something similar. ;)

In the case of specific logos, and the way they're placed, sometimes it's just faster to do a quick cut and paste, resize , and touch up the graphic.... and if it's done on a separate layer, then it's all that easier.

There is a program to make fonts on download.com
But as Felix says...


Its alot easier to use a magic tool... blow it up 200%.. delete the whole graphic, with only the selection... then smooth the selection, then contract 20 pixels or so, and smooth again.. then apply a colour.... then reduce 52%.. or 55%.. fiddle untill its right..

If you can't find a font, then just find a good picture of a font, and copy and edit in Photoshop or Paintshop. Photoshop 7 has many font's to choose from simular to that, you will need to just edit the font if the font is not  the exact same. But what I would do for my first plan of attack, is if you are repainting a general repaint I would copy off a photo. This means it will be photorealistic. I hope this info helps.  :) ???

I use Simply-the-best for FREE additional fonts.

P.S. I like Clidey's way of doing things; put another way: I'm not opposed to doing things the simple way.
