High Quality Fonts
Let us first introduce some basics about fonts. A character (glyph) outline consists of one or more contours. Contours use straight line segments and Bezier curves. This allows you to use your fonts at any size or resolution without loss of quality.
Fonts Generated by YourFonts
YourFonts uses the most advanced raster to vector conversion algorithm to convert your uploaded template page(s) into a high quality and fully scalable font.
Here is a small letter "a" of a font that has been generated by YourFonts:
On the left you see the original source. In the middle you can see how YourFonts converted the raster image to a vector based character. The inner contour has 15 points, and the outer contour has 29 points. On the right you see how the "a" looks like when you use the fully scalable font.
The sophisticated tracing method used by YourFonts is able to attain a perfect fit to the original image.
Alternative Font Generators
The inner contour has 63 points, and the outer contour has 139 points. Both contours use only straight lines and no curves.
At small point sizes the poor quality is not obvious, but at larger sizes they are unusable. Since printers have a much higher resolution that monitors, you will even be able to notice the difference in quality at small sizes.
Character Sets
YourFonts is the only font service that allows users to generate fonts with extended character sets of over 200 characters. Fonts generated by YourFonts are suitable not only for English, but also for French, German, Spanish, and many other languages.

“Second time I use this website to create my own font. The first time I came here (back in 2021) I wasn't sure it would really work. But what a relieve (and joy) when I saw that it really worked! The first time, I was so eager to create my own font (useless font for someone else than me haha) that I didn't take the time to do it properly, the result was imperfect, but I was glad because I could...” [more] NaiikenOctober 5, 2024 |
