Note: I posted this in a nother part of the forum, but I think I posted it in the wrong section and this section is better suited. I apologize for the duplicate post. I'm not sure how to delete the other one...
I downloaded a font somebody made and from what I can find on the internet it's a free font okay for commercial use and altering. The only comments from the author I can find is something to the effect of "It's free! Enjoy!"
My question is the font doesn't have all the characters I need and was wondering if there was a free font editor or creator out there where I can re-create and add the special characters I need. I've already made the new glyphs/characters into paths.
I don't plan on making a bunch of fonts in the future so investing a couple hundred into a font program isn't a worthwhile venture. Just want to edit this one font for my own personal use in printing. No distributing, embedding, etc.
I've heard of FontForge, but am not exactly Terminal savvy enough to mess with my system. I've tried Font Constructor, but it keeps crashing and won't let me add special characters. I've tried MyScriptFont.com only to have some of the glyphs not work even though I put them on their template.
Advice? Should I just give up? Did I post in the wrong section of the forum?
