How can I create my own font? "Chris Mitchell" <chris.a.mitchell[ at ]NOSPAMbtinternet.com> 10/27/2008 6:25:41 AM I have a number of objects, created in PowerPoint, one for each of the characters a>z, A>Z and 0>9. I want to make it possible for a user to be able to type as normal and have the individual characters replaced with the corresponding object, effectively an alternative font. I understand that I could create my own font from these, but how? Can anyone recommend any free software that would help me with this? TIA Chris

You need font creating software, not Word.
