  Creating type-able Fonts from AI Created Fonts

  Posted by Sascha Engel on July 13, 2016 at 12:08 pm

  Hi,

  I have a problem regarding a Font of a client:
  It’s complicated multi Colour Letters, which are created in Adobe InDesign.
  Now, we have to use to letters to create words, which are then animated in AE.
  The work around way would be to copy paste the needed letters into a new AI Document, arrange it to the right word and export it as e.g. PNG.
  But it’s gonna be hundreds of words.

  I wonder: Is there a Script or Template, that can link a typed text to the correct PNG images of the right letter and arrange it automated to a word?

  Thanx a lot.

  Greetings,

  Sascha

  It’s not a script or template, but there is a way to get your Illustrator type designs converted to fonts. It’s involved, and may not be worth the time (of course the client should be billed for the necessary conversion or the time it takes for the workaround), but you could use a number of available font editing programs to make the conversion – here’s a good rundown on the tools and the process:
