So I been working on this typeface on illustrator for a bit, is there a way to export it as a ttf without buying an expensive software like fontlab?
- Meeklo0
thanks typographica, I was trying to avoid fontlab cause its out of my budget, I have all the letters finished, I just need some sort of export option, looking for something free..
if there is something like that out there, I'm sure you are the guy that knows..

I think you hafta pay. That's almost like asking for a free version of InDesign.
sorry...

I have one, not free but I can cut you a deal if you buy two Coach purses...

TypeTool! it's a $99 version of FontLab, and reports are that it's perfectly suited to introducing yourself to the mechanics of the larger app, only cheaper. :>

(Aug 22 07, 12:33)Actually is nothing like that.
If I was asking for fontlab, maybe. But read my post again please.I have everything finished in illustrator I'm not looking for an editor, I'm looking for a way to export it as a font.
I'ts more like asking for an application to export icons once you already have them designed.
Example:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dy…See that gramme? its free.
It might not offer any sort of editing but it exports your finished artwork as an icon.see it?
thats free..nothing like indesign..
nothing at all..thanks!

i linked Fontmaster because it's free although somewhat imprecise in certain renderings. nothing you can't work on.
