# Pffft
You must have loads of these by now?
Everytime I refresh b3ta there is one on the page :)

Also TJ: Does anyone know how I can make my own font? I just downloaded 'MyOwnFont' not being quite observant enough to realise it's just for tablet pcs.
The next best offer seems to be a guy that makes a .ttf file for you from whatever it is he asks you to scan in, but call me picky- he's charging for it AND saying it's non-exclusive and he can then use it however he sees fit :s

# I found something a while back, but I couldn't be bothered in the end.
I can't remember what it is, but it didn't take very long to find, why not just try a few things in google?

# i've made my own font before now
it was a while ago and i used an 'appraisal' copy of something called fontographer, which may have been mac-only

i recall scanning in my artwork, converting to vectors using adobe streamline, then importing them into fontographer

i have no idea if that is in any way helpful to you

# Hahah, not really
But it is in as much as it gives me an understanding of how it could be done, I'll have a look at that fontographer anyway

Thanks :)

# I had a program called, imaginatively, "font creator"
I don't think it would automatically convert a scanned image into a font, you had to do all the tracing yourself, but you can have it if you like.
