| h English (en) | # Open the '''SVG Font Editor dialog''' # '''Select a name''' for your new font, using the <code>+</code> icon in the top right corner of the dialog # Adjust the '''horizontal advance''' and the major '''font metrics''' to your liking # '''Click on''' <code>Setup Canvas</code> to change the document format to the font size and get some guides that help you draw your letters # Switch to the <code>Glyphs</code> tab of the dialog # Click <code>+</code> to '''add your first letter/glyph/character''' to the list. You can also '''click the button repeatedly to automatically create a list of commonly used font characters''', from <code>Space</code> to common special characters, numbers and then upper case and lower case letters A to Z, and then even more special characters after that. # If you like to, '''switch from list preview to grid preview''' in the bottom right corner. # '''Select one''' of the lines / blocks in the glyphs list. # Click on <code>Edit</code>. This will: #* '''Create a new layer''' for the selected glyph (if there isn't one yet) and activate that layer. #* '''Hide all other layers''' # Now '''draw''' your letter/number/… in the new layer # Make sure it's '''a single path''' (e.g. do <code>Path > Union</code>) # Keep it selected, and '''click on''' <code>Get curves</code>. # '''Continue''' selecting glyphs from the list, adding / editing them and turning them into SVG font characters until your font is complete. # In the last tab, <code>Kerning</code>, you can select two different glyphs from the two dropdown lists, to '''adjust the default distance''' between them. ## After you've selected them, '''click on''' <code>Add pair</code>. ## Now '''adjust the distance''' between them. In addition to the preview that shows just these two glyphs, you can also make use of the '''sample text''' to see how it will look in a sentence. ## '''Continue''' adjusting letter distances until you're happy with the result. # Save your file as '''Inkscape SVG''', and open it with another program (e.g. FontForge) to be able to '''convert that SVG font into a ttf or otf font'''. |
