It actually only works with mac, so if you’re a pc user, similar options might be Font Forge (free) or FontLab Studio 5 (paid, but has a free demo option), but don’t hold me to that because, like I said, all of this is new to me, too.
#FONTFORGE ALL UPPERCASE UPGRADE#
I’ve researched Glyphs Mini the most in the way of font-making since it’s affordable (~$45USD + the ability to get a discount on the pro version later if I ever want to upgrade – available in the app store, too), it also has a 30 day free trial and it works well with a mac. Week5-Week 6: Complete any final editing, save the font + share! Week4-Week5: finish cleaning up lowercase, manually adjust tracking/kerning for both uppercase + lowercase Week 3-Week4: finish cleaning up uppercase, add in any missing characters, begin cleaning up lowercase Week2-Week3: scan in alphabet, vectorize + begin clean up on uppercase in Illustrator Week 1-Week 2: hand draw upper + lowercase alphabet Here’s how I’m thinking this will go down: I’m pretty certain nothing I plan on doing is by the book, but that’s how you learn – by finding your own process 🙂 That said, I’ve exhaustively researched this, so I’m feeling pretty good about my font making plan of attack. At the end of this, we’ll have our own handmade fonts we can share with each other or sell online.Ī little disclosure – I don’t want to get too over my head with this first font, so I plan on creating a sans serif all caps font. Connecting script letters perfectly seems like a second try kind of challenge, and my goal is to get the basics down with this first one. I’ll keep posting process shots over on Instagram with the tag #etfontproject and I’ll share the steps I plan to make for the next week’s font project post. On the chance that it is, I’ve decided to create a weekly post for the next 6 weeks for us to hold each other accountable and really do it – really create our own handmade fonts! I’ve never made a font before, so we are definitely in this together 🙂Įvery week on Friday, I’ll share the progress I’ve made, resources I’ve used and tips/tricks I’ve learned. If you’ve ever been here before, you know my love for type is pretty intense and I know I have some fonts in me waiting to get out. No kidding, Spence has heard me talk about creating my own font every week (if not every day!) for over a year. Less annoying for the person filling out the form.This is a big post for me. This will keep the user from having to fill out that part of the form again. That's assuming you're using PHP as the backend and posting to the same page you are on. This is something I like to do make it smoother for the person filling out the form. I don't know why I wanted to throw in some extra stuff if it's a php page. You were trying to uppercase an image instead of the input.

You were close with the style being in the wrong place. Some people working too hard with that javascript.

Then I just did the uppercase thing in php as well. I went with the style text-transform:uppercase thing from poster.
