The process is simple, quick and basically idiot-proof. Print out a template from the site, write in your letters, scan, upload and &#8212; voila &#8212; there you have it. If you&#8217;re a real fonthead, you might want more detail and control over the fonts you create. I remember even years ago seeing an ad in MacWorld for a &#8220;make your own handwriting font.&#8221; The template that software had was a lot more sophisticated, since it asked for examples of different letter combination as well as individual letters. The YourFonts template basically replicates the characters on a standard keyboard, with an optional extension to characters with accents\/umlauts etc.<\/p>\n<p>By far, this is the best, quickest, easiest and cheapest option I&#8217;ve found thus far. YourFonts offers proper font creation software that can be purchased at what seems to be fairly reasonable prices. But the free font creation tool is heaps of fun and available for use without any form of obligation. I&#8217;ve already gone back and improved my first efforts, opting to fiddle with character heights and positioning in GIMP a lot (see below). I&#8217;m now keen to create a couple more fonts for my fledgling web site.
