Programs converting Asemic Characters to Truetype fonts
Wondering if people in this group have any recommendations for (hopefully free!) programs out there that convert our stunning characters into truetype fonts?
(I'm using the 2014 Long-Term-Support version of Ubuntu Linux and Win7 operating systems, but I know some people here use MACs.)
Anyone here have suggestions what programs asemic artists would find useful in font design?
Previously, I've used a website (I think it was www.yourfont.com) to convert my own traditional alphabet into a font, but it charged me $8. to do it. (That was a discounted special too.) Paying is fine when you're doing something useful like making a font. But it's expensive when you're making asemic art and want to test it to see how the characters work together visually as art. So free programs - that's what I'm looking for.
Have others made fonts here that we could download and install? Please describe them!!

Hello, Franis.
I just checked my copy of CorelDRAW v9 and it can export to a TTF. I've printed what its HELP says as a PDF if you'd like to see it. It's one symbol/character at a time so I suppose it might be slow. I got my copy of CDv9 for ~~$50 USD a looong time ago by purchasing it with a new computer. More recently, I don't see many offers of older versions of software online so this may not be a good idea unless you already have a vector-based graphical editor.

Franis. I don't know if you still have interest in converting images to fonts but there is a free program called Font Forge. It is, however, at least for me, difficult to learn. Y'r ol' Bud, Fike
