Post subject: How can I create my own font?
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>word>newusers (more info?)

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

I posted a response to this last week when you asked. You need font creating
software, not Word. Not PowerPoint either.
