Typography, the art of font making, is now accessible to everyone thanks to technology. But that doesn't mean it's easy. Even for someone with artistic talent and the patience to create a set of glyphs that together make up a font, there's a little math and a lot of computer science involved.

Type 3.2 helps you out with many--but not all--of these aspects of typography. As font makers go, Type 3.2 is not hard to use. The tools in your Type Toolbox will seem familiar if you've ever used a painting or design program. You get a pointer for selecting nodes, a knife, a freehand pencil, and simple shape tools for drawing rectangles and ellipses. Using these tools to create a glyph design from scratch is more difficult than using a graphic design program (such as the $89 ) and tracing the glyph; but with perseverance, Type gets the job done.

The curve tools, for example, are confusing at first: Type includes tools for creating a Corner Curve, a Smooth Curve, a Straight Corner, and off-curve nodes, as well as a pen for adding straight lines and a fully freehand tool. Much like (which costs $100 for the Home Edition and $250 for the professional version, which permits commercial use), Type lets you trace a glyph that you've created in a drawing program. Class 12 physics practical file. Type does this extremely well if you have a clean, well-sized vector sample.

I also like that Type includes a slider for increasing or decreasing the number of nodes (nodes are the points that make up the curves of your glyph; generally, the fewer nodes you have, the smoother your glyph will look). The node slider is a useful feature that FontCreator doesn't offer. Be aware, however, that the demo version of Type places an X over traced images, rendering them useless. Though Type is relatively easy to get started with, you'll have to overcome some difficulties to create a full font.

For one thing, using Type to create glyphs that incorporate bits of other glyphs (as most fonts do with the beginnings of the characters for m and n, for example) is not intuitive. And learning how to use Type to fill certain areas of a font and leave other areas transparent (to create a defined look with a 3D font, for instance) takes some time and research. The video tutorials and help menu for Type are informative and--for the most part--easy to follow for basic concepts; but as you advance as a user, you'll find yourself having to rely more and more frequently on trial-and-error. The demo version of Type doesn't accurately reflect the full program's power and ease of use; in my testing on Windows Vista PC, the Type demo behaved obstinately and annoyingly, whereas the paid version of Type worked smoothly.
