I'm a graphics retard, and have no idea how to go about doing such things as creating an original font...I've got a basic version of photoshop, can it be done with that? Or will special software be required?

Thanks muchly,

creating fonts is not really a simple task, lots to think about before you even start, but there are programs out there to help you out.

I used fontographer, Illustrator, Freehand, Photoshop when I studied design / typography at uni but I'm sure you'll find more up to date stuff to d/l nowadays.

If you need any help just let me know! Cool
