Since we've already prepared our character set in the previous tutorial, you can simply open your Adobe Illustrator document that has your original vector objects if it's not open already, and we can begin adding glyphs to our font. This panel allows us to create a simple font without leaving Adobe Illustrator. Under Windows > Extensions, you'll be able to open the Fontself Maker panel. Once you see the message below, restart Adobe Illustrator and your extension will have been installed. My instructions involved going to File > Script > Other Scripts in order to load the script. Once you've purchased and downloaded it, you'll find a zip folder with instructions for installation.

If you're working with Fontself, you'll need to install the script. Check out the market's font category for inspiration for your personal designs. This tutorial should easily prepare you to create simple and fun fonts that can be sold as digital assets on Envato Market. The first will use Fontself, a paid Adobe Illustrator extension, and the second will use FontForge, an open-source font-creation program. In this tutorial we'll explore two fantastic methods of creating a custom font with our vector letterforms. Check out part one if you haven't already! We've planned out our letter set, gone over ways to refine the font design, and prepared files for use in a font-making program, all from the comfort of Adobe Illustrator.
If you're a designer or illustrator who's more comfortable creating glyphs in Adobe Illustrator, this tutorial is right up your alley! This tutorial is part two of two.
