Make your vertical guide first, UNLOCK the guides, then copy your pages. Have your page selected when you make the guides and they will only show on the page. Also, you should use the align and distribute tools. I'm pulling my hair out watching this!
Thanks for the tutorial! Do you know how one can add other non-latin alphabets into FontForge? For example, if I want to create a font for one of the Chinese characters or one of the Greek letters, how can I add it into FontForge?
Very nice video, great help. I wonder if you can help with an issue I had though. After installing the font it works in Word but not in Illustrator - when validating it did give some issues but I ignored them. Do you know what it may be? Or is to too broad to know without looking at it? Thanks!
Great tutorial thanks so much! Can I move my ascender line and mean line down within the 1000px artboard? My letters wouldn't all fit within the artboard with the guidelines set up like yours. P.S. I notice in your definitions it shows that ascent is just the height above the mean line but when you set up fontforge you say ascent plus descent equals 1000.
how can ypu have a bold variation.. is it automaticly adjust by font forge or you did something manual? ah god i just see the tumbnail beside my comment LOL you have video "creating bold fonts"
i was used to upload my desing font from AI into some "calligraph" website but the final result doesnt feel like what i want to because its like being auto traced and some detail got changed a little and i think its broke the style. how can i think its hard to make a font.. bcs i was could designed from start (sketch) or just start without any sketch but with some guide bcs i make style geometric
I had a technical problem with the quotation marks. They appeared as default font when I tried it out... meanwhile the rest of the characters worked just fine, anyone know why and what should I do?
A tutorial is something other than letting viewers watch a cursor flipping around on the screen while you play the piano. It kind of involves 'tutoring' - i.e. explaining what you're doing/what is happening. Nice music tho'.
