Creating Your Own Fonts in CorelDRAW

© 2003 by Foster D. Coburn III.

Beginning with very early versions of CorelDRAW, the ability to create custom fonts was made available. This capability means that it is very easy to turn a set of simple drawings and logos into a font that can be easily used in almost every program. We’ll start out with a refresh on typography, then we’ll design a template in CorelDRAW for font design. With the template in place, we’ll make a font. But even that doesn’t finish the job. Once the font has left CorelDRAW, we’ll use FontLab to tweak the font to a much higher level of quality.

Get this entire 8 page tutorial in a printable PDF file along with a copy of the font making template for only $5! Just click the button below to get your copy today!

You'll learn a number of typographical terms and how to improve the typography of your projects. You'll also see how to create a font template in CorelDRAW, export characters from CorelDRAW to a font, add spacing and kerning data in FontLab and much more.
