fun with fonts
April 26, 2007
This is a tiny sample of my new handwriting font. I’m finding that the kerning aka letter spacing is a bit problematic. In the sample above, I’ve had to move the capital “T” way over toward the “a” using Photoshop for instance, there was too much space around it. This is not really practical for large amounts of text, so I may need a workaround. Ideally I would be able to edit the letters in the font myself - I might look at tools that allow you to scan in your own letters and edit them. This is still pretty cool though. It wasn’t terribly expensive, and is a good start. The hardest part was writing the special characters that I never write - and will probably never use!
