Modifying Tt Font

[raslin]

Can any one help please?

I would like to modify an English TTF to add some tone accents to use with English transliterations.

Is there a simple bit of freeware to do this?

Many thanks.

That software is calling Bitstream Software. May you google for Bitstream Softwarer and you'll get a lot different sites incl. some freeware I believe.

Are you sure the font doesn't contain the characters you need? Did you browse through it with Character Map? (Start --> Run -> 'charmap.exe')

I don't think Eye Browse from Bitstream will do it.

What I need is four new characters for low, rising,high and falling tones over the vowels. Ordinary Thai/English fonts don't do these.

Thanks anyway.

Roger,

take a look at the following Websites/Programs:

http://www.high-logic.com/

http://www.fontlab.com/

http://websitetips.com/fonts/tools/#convert

If there isn't anything you can use, google for Font Editing Software.

I don't use Google but Copernic which gives me more precise infos.

Cheers.

Many fonts do include lots of accent marks...

à á â ã ä å ā ă ẚ ạ ả ấ ầ ẩ ẫ ậ ắ ằ ẳ ẵ ặ

or were you wanting to create your own marks?

In MS word, you can access the accented characters fairly easily:

CTRL+` (ACCENT GRAVE), the letter

à, è, ì, ò, ù,

À, È, Ì, Ò, Ù

CTRL+' (APOSTROPHE), the letter

á, é, í, ó, ú, ý

Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú, Ý

CTRL+SHIFT+^ (CARET), the letter

â, ê, î, ô, û

Â, Ê, Î, Ô, Û

CTRL+SHIFT+~ (TILDE), the letter

ã, ñ, õ

Ã, Ñ, Õ

CTRL+SHIFT+: (COLON), the letter

ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ,

Ä, Ë, Ï, Ö, Ü, Ÿ

CTRL+SHIFT+@, a or A

å, Å

Check the help for a full listing.

Veazer,

the OP is not looking accents or so, the Tone signs are much different. So he need to edit the required fonts and change to what he need.

That kind of fonts are not freeware and quite expensive to buy.

Cheesr.
