I have taken some of the aspects of chinese calligraphy and created an english hybrid script, it turns english words into "character-like symbols"
I was wondering if anyone knows an easy way to turn this into a font. the problem is that letters have letter combinations have multiple forms, t would have to be a dynamic generation system i think. are there any tools to do this?
If you find it interesting just post here and ill write up anything you want in Dscript so you can see it in practice (ie. your name, a short blurb/quote, etc..)
Would love feedback, comments and suggestions.
Kindest regards,

Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?
Thou are more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And Summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And oft' is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd:
But thy eternal Summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
there are lots more samples at dscript in the samples section. ( http://www.dscript.ca/manual.htm )
Cool!
If I understand your question, what you could do is creating ligatures and put in a font.
Hi all, new here.
I am into calligraphy, both western and eastern.
