Thank you for the walk through. I was worried I would have to have a certain paid software to get this done, and I am so glad that there are people like you out here to show us how easily this can be accomplished! 👌
I only needed a limited set of characters that I created in Coreldraw and were ready to go, I managed to create in the ttf file in an hour or so after some minor tweaking. For my purpose the font works perfectly but I could see height, kerning and special characters swallowing up a great deal of time. It still seems a quicker option compared to Fontforge. Thanks again for the tutorial.
My time off work project - who knows perhaps one day in distant future this (graphic stuff I mean) could become my full time job! Thanks so much for the free tutorial - much appreciated!
Thank you. This was fun. I only needed the digits 0 through 9 for a python program I am running on my desktop to show the current time in big digits on a black background, and this was perfect. Just what I needed.
Hi, did you use the free calligraphr templates? - I ask this because I couldn't see one with numbers included - only caps and lower case letters and a few punctuation marks.
Your freehand calligraphy is pretty good! This doesn't have much to do with Inkscape though, I'm curious why you didn't title it with Calligraphr instead?
I’m new to Inkscape,but not graphics, and have the latest version (1.something). I was just wondering why you install the file within the Inkscape folder system instead of the normal operating system folder? I do have a lot of fonts installed and Inkscape and some other programs are taking a long time to load them up. Maybe this has some relation?
WARNING! Please read this! If you're making geometric fonts in Inkscape and is using grids, NEVER TOUCH the SCALE in the DOCUMENT PROPERTIES PAGE. The scale RUINS the accuracy of the coordinates of your nodes, from something like X: 256 Y: 512 to X: 257.157 Y: 512.54 If you change back the scale, the coordinates are still RUINED. It could only be fixed by UNDO. If you change the scale accidentally, undo immediately! This SHI* destroyed the accuracy of my glyphs! It's very frustrating and takes an unnecessary amount of time to fix all the glyphs position one by one, that's almost unfixable. It's also gonna cause a lot of problems when I import those "coordinate ruined" glyphs into Fontforge.

life saved thank you
Cool tutorial. This makes the process much easier than some Fontforge tutorials that I've watched.
It's inspired me to give it a try. Thanks 👍

Thank you for this video. I'm currently working on recreating a font used on a book cover from the 1800s - in Inkscape.
Its weird that they ask for a raster image for the filled template instead of a vector one.

Thank you so much for this great tutorial.
You are sooo sweet to teach this to us. Ty soo much!
The font doesn't look bad at all! Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
Thanks for the tutorial! Saved me a lot of time
Really helpful video, just what I needed!
If I just center all the characters do you think that will help with the spacing?
Thank you, it helped me a lot!
Can u copy and paste letters from google into the template and use it If if has a transparent background?
Wow amazing. That’s so easy. Thanks a lot for this video haha I loved it
Just how many times did we actually "go ahead"?
Nice...cool explanation

This is a great and simple tutorial! Thanks! Can this be done with custom icons instead of letters?
Wondering the same! I personally don't think it would matter, but I'd hate to go through the whole design process to find it didn't work.
Get fontself instead
Thanks! You've been very helpful. Best wishes!
this is gold
Super helpful, thanks
Soooo Helpful. Thanks!
i love this tutorial, very helpful...
In the new versions in Inkscape, there is a font editor. You needn't any template
Nice!! What about numbers?
Thank you!
This is awesome! Does it only work within Inkscape? Or can this be used in any text program?
You can use it with most programs that use different fonts!
I love it!
Thank you
Sir!
thank you for sharing💗
Thank you so much for the video, wasn't able to find any information on how to use any sort of software to fix problems.
thx, you vid help a lot for my game
very helpful! thank u
based tutorial
Nice man ;)

Calligraphr 90% of the video, not inkscape👎😤
