Has anyone ever created a typeface from scratch that you can actually type with? And if so, what program did you use?
I just made one in Illustrator, but have no idea how to go about making it a functional typeface.
*raises hand.
If I recall correctly, I used Illustrator to create my type, initially.
Next I uploaded the each type (one at a time) into a program/application called Fontographer--used v.4.7, which allowed for the unique customization.
After this point, I somehow transferred my type into a program/application called Fontbook, then saved it.
I believe after this, the type becomes available to type with in your system.
It's been about 1.5 yrs since I last did this (design process class), so I'm a bit fuzzy on the details. I'll try to remember the specifics and hit you with more info.
Here's some pics in the meantime of the type I created; I initially called it "ghost-type", but later changed it to "cryptoglyph":
