Kerning
As you create your font, do not forget the importance of kerning. Kerning is
the spacing between individual characters. Good kerning separates professional
type from the amateurish. The best way to manage your kerning is with 'kerning
pairs.' Font Creator Program will take pairs of characters and allow you
to manipulate the spacing between them. For example you can bring the 'A'
and 'V' closer than 'V' and 'W.' You want your characters tight but not
touching.

As you can probably guess, this is not a fast process. Creating
a professional type font takes time and patience. Once you are
satisfied, you can generate your new font and start your favorite
graphics program. Below is an example of my new font above the
old one it was based on. I now have my own, private font that
I can use in any graphics or word processing program that accepts
truetype fonts (.ttf).
