Font making

Postby Zech » Wed Feb 21, 2018 9:52 am

Hi, just wondering is there an inkscape exstension (that works) where I can create fonts truetype fonts and opentype fonts. I have made my own font as a svg file and I really don't like pasting character after character to make just one sentence. I want to type my font with the :tool_text: tool. Not copying and pasting.

Hi.

Inkscape can save svg fonts but cannot load them.
Use fontforge to convert the svg font to a truetype one and install it on your system.
