So let’s start with our tutorial!
Procedure
Step 1: Visit the website YourFonts.com and follow the given instructions. First, you will have to download a PDF template and print it out. If you are creating your font digitally, with a tablet or a tablet input, then you can directly download the character set in image format. Step 2: Print the character sketch, fill out each box with the character mentioned above with your very own handwriting, and even do a signature, but remember any of the alphabet or even your signature, should not flow out of the boxes or the space provided. Step 3: Ready up your computer scanner. Ensure that the scanner bed is clean. Now insert the character set with your writing in the scanner and scan the character set, you can scan and save it in any of the major image formats but ensure that the image resolution is 300 dpi or 1000 px or more. Step 4: Now right-click the saved image and open it with any desired photo editing tool, I would recommend Gimp or Paint.net. Clean up the image, if you’ve made some little mistakes and finalize your images. Step 5: Now we are ready to upload are files and create the final font. Go to Your Fonts upload page. Fill in all your details and upload your font image files there, your fonts would automatically recognize the words and would finally show you a preview. If you feel that the preview is not to your satisfaction, then please try to go through the steps again.
Step 6: Now in the next step, what you simply need to do is, pay them their fee for creating your font. The fee they would ask you for, is around $9.90 – we mentioned earlier, that this service was not free. Considering that they convert your handwriting into a True Type font – the fee does look reasonable.
Step 7: Download your font and install it on your computer. Hope you liked our tutorial.
