I am trying to make a font so I do not have to place the bridges in the letters every time.
I mainly use Arial Bold for making signs.
I have made a font but before i release it into the wild , I need a little feedback so I can fine tune it.
currently:
A two inch tall letter has a .1875 bridge. It resizes according to your needs.
Currently I know this font works in Inkscape and Photoshop
Arial
Bold
Upper case letters that have inclusions have been modified
Upper case letters with NO inclusions are left alone
Numbers are the same way
NO lowercase letters have been modified
NO symbols have been modified.
are you guys interested in lowercase letters?
are you guys interested in symbols, @ % & ?
does anyone care? can you use this?
any questions or suggestions??
P.S. making a font is not as easy as I thoughtâŚ!
Interesting and useful, but, if you do âpublishâ it, make sure it doesnât have a name conflict with any other font and should contain âStencilâ in the name.
I have been searching and downloading stencil fonts.
once downloaded I open the Truetype font file and it populates my font library.
now it will be availble it inkscape, fusion360, word ,etc.
Heres a place I go Stencil Fonts
and another More Stencil Fonts
A little bummed todayâŚ
I found an excellent website : https://www.dragondxf.com/
He already has the EXACT Arial font I am trying to makeâŚ
I donât really feel like re -inventing the wheelâŚ
His is $30.00, that is less time on the computer more time cuttingâŚ
Maybe I will fish the lower case letters and call it quitsâŚ
You know, youâre on to something here. I hadnât thought of this before, but instead of editing my fonts of choice and copying and pasting them together, I could edit them and save them as a new font, then be able to just type away, convert to curves, add them together and be done⌠I may do this with my favorite two fonts.
Hey sorry it took so long to get back to youâŚ
I abandoned that project ⌠I was spending too much time trying to make a font and no time actually cutting⌠Besides when I did it I only had capital letters, had not made the lower case yetâŚ
I came across this website : Arial CNC Font â DragonDXF
His font looked so much better than what I was doing, so I just bought what they had!! $30 bucks but it saved me so much time ⌠Glad I did it!!
I saw several fonts on that website that I liked. If I get a project that pays, I will get one there. Very nice looking fonts that fool the eye a bit so you donât notice that they are stenciled.
Of course I was very interested in your offer. I like Arial font.
