Creating a font from hand drawn type. How to in CorelDRAW?
« on: August 01, 2018, 11:52:31 AM »
I find references for plug-ins for Illy, but does anyone have a little help for a Corel user? (I want this for simple athletic number sets rather than entire alphabets)
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

I do not know of a plugin but but I have used high logic font creator in the past for these.  you can import the image and then manipulate it if need be or you can create right in there.  also adjust the kearning and such.

they do have a free download.  i think it will allow you to save the font out of there but not for sure.  I got it along time ago when we needed special number fonts and it did save time.  but man if you have never created a font before ther eis a learning cure.  so many thing involved  similar to making web pages with shopping carts.
