Hi
Would it be possible to write down my alphabet, with all the characters,
scan them and somehow to convert them into TTF format?

I would like to do it with my own handwriting.

Clues? Solutions?

Font making freeware is one of the things which ACF has looked for but never
found. It just doesn't exist.

There is always Cygwin and FontForge, but I have never tried that.

Both look a bit too geeky for me:

<quote> FontForge -- An outline font editor that lets you create your own
postscript, truetype, opentype, cid-keyed, multi-master, cff, svg and bitmap
(bdf) fonts, or edit existing ones. Also lets you convert one format to
another. FontForge has support for many macintosh font formats. </quote>

<quote> What Is Cygwin? Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It
consists of two parts:
A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing
substantial Linux API functionality.
A collection of tools, which provide Linux look and feel. </quote>
