To become familiar with FontCreator, you may as well go ahead and create your own font. 逐漸熟悉fontcreator ，你還不如去進取，創建自己的字體。 First, you click File from the menu and then New . 首先，你點擊文件 ，從菜單中，然後在新的 。
Give your new font a unique name otherwise it will not install properly in Windows later on.讓您的新的字體一個獨特的名字，否則它不會安裝妥當在Windows稍後。 This name is not the name of the file, it’s what will be shown inside programs, etc. For example, Times New Roman is the font family name and the file name is actually timesbd.ttf.這個名字是不是文件名，它會產生什麼樣的內展示節目等，例如，新的時代，羅馬是字體家族的名字和文件名，其實是timesbd.ttf 。
You’ll now see the glyph overview window, which is where you can actually draw in your letters.您現在看到字形概覽窗口，在這裡你可以真正吸引你的信。 Double click on the cell with the caption “A” and you’ll now be brought to the glyph edit window.雙擊對細胞與旁白的" A " ，你就會現已將該事項提請字形編輯窗口。 Choose Contour from the Insert menu to start creating your letters.選擇輪廓 ，從插入菜單，開始創造你的信。
You can read the entire in-detail manual for using你可以看到，在整個細節手冊使用 FontCreator fontcreator here.在這裡。 If you still feel this is simply too hard or you want to create a font from your own handwriting, you will need to have some kind of drawing tablet and a graphical program such as Photoshop, Xara, etc that can save each letter you draw out as a GIF.如果你還是覺得這簡直太硬，還是你想創造一種字體，由你自己的筆跡，你將需要有某種形式的繪畫片劑和圖形程序如： Photoshop ， xara等，可以節省每一個字母，你抽出作為一個支持GIF 。 There are also lots of free drawing programs out there also.此外，還有大量的免費繪圖程式列，也有。
If you have each letter saved in GIF format, then you can import the letters into the glyph edit window by going to Tools and then Import Image .如果你有每一個字母保存在gif格式，那麼你就可以輸入英文字母到字形編輯窗口去工具，然後輸入圖像 。 This way you don’t have to actually draw your letters using tools, but can just write them out.這樣，你沒有真正汲取你的信用工具，但也可以寫出來。
After you have created a few fonts, you can test out your new customized font by going to Test in the Font menu.當你創造了一個數字體，你可以測試出你的新定制的字體中去，以測試在字體菜單。 Start typing the letters and you should now see how your letters look in combination:開始打字的信件和你現在應該看看如何你的來信看，在結合：
Now you can click Install from the Font menu to install the font into Windows.現在，您可以通過點擊安裝，從字體菜單中安裝字體到Windows 。 It is recommended to not simply copy the fonts to the Windows Fonts folder.因此建議不要簡單地照搬照抄字體到Windows的Fonts文件夾。 Once installed, your font will be available in all of your favorite applications!一旦安裝完畢，你的字體，將可提供所有您喜愛的應用程序！
The process for creating your own fonts is not necessarily easy, but it’s definitely possible for most people with a little time and effort (and maybe a little cash too).過程中創建自己的字體並不一定是容易的，但它的絕對可能對大多數人來說一點點時間和精力（也許有點過於現金） 。 Overall, though, it’s really cool to make your own fonts for sending cards, emails, etc!總體上說，儘管，它的真涼爽，使你自己的字體，發送賀卡，電子郵件等！ Enjoy!享受！
