How do you create a font?

With a LOT of *patience and concentration, and a font editor - I use "FontCreator" but there a many alternatives - <Insert favourite search engine here> is your friend...

*If you have looked at my SwingDings suite it took around 2 years, on and off, to get it to the Scripto. It still has "features" that I'm not completely happy with but it is now finalised. Any changes will appear in a completely new font that I may do in a year or so...

With a font editor. See:http://www.microsoft.com/typography

If browsing that didn't scare you, you may be ready for Softy.
It is old and buggy, but the free demo works well enough for NWC User and System fonts.

Lawrie is quite right about the learning curve ...
