In this, Part 3 of my Fontlab Studio video series, I will be showing you exactly how to make ligatures. Ligatures are a great way to automatically combine one or more characters into a single glyph, making your font more versatile and feature rich. Ligatures are important because of the way certain letters fit together, and I want to show you how to make your own. Fontlab Studio is a very robust program, and the steps involved in getting ligatures to work, aren’t immediately apparent, so I’m going to share what I’ve learned so far…

In this (requested) video tutorial, I will go over how to edit multiple text boxes across a multi-artboard Illustrator document. This allows you to edit the text once and change it on all corresponding artboards in your Illustrator document, saving you loads of time. :)

This is part 1 of a continuing series I’ll be producing about how to use Fontlab Studio to create fonts, from start to finish. It’s been a challenge to learn Fontlab because it’s a very robust software, so I’m passing along everything I learn, as I learn it to help those interested in making their own fonts.

Last week I gave away some vector grunge and I’m here to show you how I made those shapes. In this video, we will be using Illustrator and a plugin called Scriptographer to achieve organic vector grunge textures, useful in a myriad of applications. Let’s get started.
