Hi All

Is there a way of creating truetype fonts in coreldraw

I seem to remember reading somewhere that it was possible to export characters as ttf format but can’t get it to work.

Cheers

Paul I have tried it too. Can’t get it to work either. Gave up trying and took up drinking instead 🙄 *drink* :banghead:

I seem to remember that there were problems with certain versions of Draw and ttf creation but try exporting as pfb. XP does support type 1 fonts and this may work.

Hi Alan

I can’t find a pfb format to export it as

If I can’t create fonts in Corel, does anyone know of a cheap/free piece of font creation softwear

Here are a couple of links I found on Google
http://desktoppub.about.com/gi/dynamic/ … corel1.htm
http://www.csupomona.edu/~jcclark/fonts/fontinst.html

Didn’t read throught them but a bunch of links come up if you search for CorelDraw Font Creation

Fontlab sells a bunch of product for this as well http://www.fontlab.com/index.php

Paul – pfb – Adobe type 1 font, the filter is under the ttf one. I’m using Corel V12 but its been in previous versions I’ve used, if you still can’t find it you may need to go to the installation disk and do that bit manually.

Paul, in Corel Draw 11 you just make your font and export it as TTF.

It works ok on my PC.

Insert corel 11 disc, click install, modify, main applications, scroll down to import/export file type, tick the box. You’ll find the TTF option is back in the export window.
