web font design

[nerijus....@gmail.com]

Hi people of good will,

Got a problem designing font for meteo web application.

Tried these apps:

Fontographer 5
Inkscape 0.91
Corel Draw X7
Font Forge

after .ttf created converted to web font using http://onlinefontconverter.com/

Problem is that all of those tools are far from good. Maybe best was Fontographer but somehow scaling font it becomes grainy.

My question is: what tools true web designers use, as I suppose most experiences is participating in this group.

Thank you!

Hi!

FontForge has been available for about 15 years, so a lot of old releases are around... are you using the most recent release?

Regarding the grainy effect, perhaps the font has lost its TrueType hinting; you could use ttfautohint to add some hinting back.

Cheers
Dave

As @Dave asked are you really using the most recent version?
