Hi,
I need to edit each character in a font file. Maybe this will help explain it better...
1. Create a new drawing cdr file,
2. Select text tool and select a certain font. The selected font has ragged edges that I want to clean up,
3. Now type the alphabet as a long string with all possible characters supported by the font which is now a text object containing all the characters,
4. I now need to split each character into its own object, so it can be moved, edited, or whatever,
5. I would then save the cdr and when a character is needed, I could copy it from the file, as the file would become the font library, in a sense?
How would I do this?
Thanks, Stanley
Type your alphabet choose your font, now select the text string press Ctrl+K this will break the string into individual characters.
Select all the individual characters and now press Ctrl+Q this will turn them into editable graphics.
Hope this helps.
Thanks Chris,
Almost there... letters that have closed areas such as a B or a P get all filled in and looses their interior shape. BTW, what does Ctrl+K do?
Now I need to delete the little shaddowy lines. They do have nodes on them, but I callot delete them.
Use your Shape Tool to select the the pieces you don't want and then delete them.
See attached.
Perfect... thanks so much!
You're welcome
