:hi: Creating your fonts need your a lot of time. Are you sure?

FontCreator (commercial)
TTEdit (commercial )
FontForge (revised BSD license)

FontLab Studio 5.0 is probably the best one. A bit expensive though
You can try free FontForge or Noah first, before you spend your money. You can also download FontLab Studio demo version.

FontLab offers also cheaper alternatives like TypeTool for example) for FontStudio - see here: http://fontlab.com/Font-tools/Font-Editors/

Creating your typography in Illustrator and import them onto your fonts program is easy way. You might have some difficulties while creating your ttf fonts. Good luck with your long destination!

Development resources for fonts:
Microsoft Typography
Text & Fonts
Type Technology

Try Xara3D. I'm unsure if it's free though.

abc123ben,

Xara3D is a logos creator program, not a TTF fonts creator.

Nice links kleszcz.Thanks a lot!

That's a 3d based software not a font creator program.

I remember creating my own font when i was at college, it was a lot of fun.

I used a program called Fontographer by Macromedia. It very easy to use. Im not sure if it's still going, it might have been discontinued.

yeap. me to used fontography. But not to create a new font. But to modify a local langugage font to change to desired keystorkes.
