RE: OT: looking for a font designer

[David Artman]

FontCreator is a LOT cheaper than contracting a font designer, if you already have the art and just need it put into a font file. (It's tantamount to hiring an architect just to do drafting... or hiring a technical writer just to copy  paste between two applications. ;) )DIY, I sayDavid

Hi groupI've got Illustrator EPS vector graphics which I use as icons for notes, warnings, tips etc. I'd like to create a custom (OpenType) font for these icons, so I can create a character format and use that in my autonumbering. So, I'm looking for a professional font designer/developer who can do this. Any ideas/suggestions/recommendations?Thanks-- Yves Barbionwww.scripto.nu

Why reinvent the wheel? There are fonts that have the standard ANSI
Z535 exclamation point in triangle symbol at U+26A0:

Do you need to worry about IEEE, ANSI, or OSHA standards? Generally,
Warning is reserved for things that can cause serious injury or death.

Hi David

I'm afraid it's not that simple. I have already tested some font editors,
including FontCreator, Fontographer, FontForge and TypeTool and I saw that
the fill and/or stroke of some objects is not always preserved when the EPS
is imported into these editors.

Moreover, the (technical) properties of the font need to be specified
correctly, so that the font embedding/subsetting works properly when we
generate a PDF (and print it) from the FrameMaker files.

Cheers
