Then I discovered Photoshop and Comic Sans. Then I learned Comic Sans was evil and found someone who successfully used YourFont.com to create great looking fonts. I want fontforge but I'm not sure about the extra stuff windows users have to download. I remember back when I was going to hand letter each comic. Then I discovered Photoshop and Comic Sans.

I had never really wanted to use Comic Sans, for the reasons you stated in another of your articles--I wanted to make my own font for ages, but didn't know how. Now I do. Thank you!

Not to mention how frustrating it is to dig through all the fonts out there to try to find something that will fit your style. I was even toying with the idea of having a specific font for each character in my book. I'm not sure if that would be distracting but at least I have that option within my control. Also, thanks for the great list of books you sent me! I agree. Not to mention how frustrating it is to dig through all the fonts out there to try to find something that will fit your style.

You will have a completely original look to your book, including your typography. It's those little things that will make your work stand out over the run of the mill stuff.
