this is a great post. Plus i didn’t think something like a font creation program would be so affordable!

Thanks for the heads up! :)

Thanks so much, Jason! Your blog is incredible and so full of valuable info. I’m starting a graphic novel myself and this is the place I know I will find a lot of answers.

Excellent articles throughout your blog. I have been slaving away on personal fonts since I read this, i was struggling with fontforge beforehand but I'm taking the easy way on on this one. Trying to get my new webcomic squared away. I'll make sure to use the promo code on yourfonts.com. Thanks for the insight!

I remember back when I was going to hand letter each comic. 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.

Can I just say, I'm so delighted that you've put up this information. 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!

I dunno if my handwriting would be great…. It's a pretty awful form…

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. 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!

Creating your own font based on your handwriting/printing will save you a ton of time in the long run – and the end effect is huge. 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.
