Transrobotism Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi there, Affinity Friends & Serif! I was wondering if there is a way to create fonts with Affinity Designer? If this feature isn't there could there be a Font Designer plugin at some point? That'd be great!Thank you! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokusai Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Transrobotism, I think that some people have mentioned here have mentioned using Affinity Designer to draw the fonts and then they cut and paste them (or copy or import them) into Glyphs (https://www.glyphsapp.com) or Fontographer (or Font Lab). I think that a full featured font creation app would be beyond the scope of Designer. Creating a font is rather complex and I would say that it would take more than a plugin to make one properly (just a guess). I would recommend drawing your fonts in Designer and then find a way to get them into your font creation program. I would check out the font programs first to make sure that you can get your font from Designer to it properly. Hokusai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hokusai Hmmmm... :unsure: Well, if people can draw fonts in Affinity Designer then there is scope for the Serif Affinity team to create a Font Creator for the PC and MAC. I wonder what the programmers of Affinity Designer have to say on this... Hmmm... :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
