Converting a logo to a font
February 28, 2008 6:18 AM
What software do I need to convert a company logo (including design element) into a True Type Font?
Googling turns up a lot of people who want to do it for me, but I'd like to do it myself.

The reason there are more services than software is that there really are only a few editors that will do it right. Fonts are volatile little pieces of code and a trained hand and proper tools are required to create something that won't muck up your software or system.
The cheapest way to do it right is send it to a company like FontShop.
The cheapest way to do it right and by yourself is TypeTool.

If you already have CorelDraw, you have the software.
Do a Google search "CorelDraw make fonts"

I kind of did it in FontCreator (trial version). Need to do some tweaks.
Thanks for the offer Matt.

why would you need to do this?! i think there must be a much better way you're overlooking to accomplish your end goal. what are your usage plans for the font that you want to make?
