Hello!
This is a free video course "How to make a font from scratch in Fontlab in 1 day (or not)" in the "Let's Make Letters: Practice" video tutorial series, which consists of 39 videos and lasts about 12 hours.
Here we will create a fully working typeface from scratch using the example of the "Zhurnalnaya Rublennaya" typeface.
This will be one Regular style that will introduce you to the basics of creating letters, various outline drawing techniques and Fontlab 8 settings.
If you have Fontlab 6 VI or 7, then these lessons will also come in handy.
