I've worked with a Truetype font creator program before, to create a font based on my own handwriting. It worked pretty well, but there's a lot of detailed work involved.
There's an article and links here if you're interested in taking it further, young Padawan: http://mashable.com/2011/11/17/free-...reation-tools/
Definitely will check it out soon!!! Gotta do more sanding though!
Sorry for the double post guys!
Glenn, what tool/s did you personally use to create your personal font, and are there any pre-requisites involved???
Also, I found a Microsoft font that is most likely the REAL Fender font! it's called Brush Script MT, I made a few designs for fun, like StratoPester (going to be used in a strat after the LP!)
Callum, I don't recall exactly what the program was called, it was probably 15 years ago, but it was a freeware application downloaded as an executable file (.exe) which ran under Windows XP. Any of the ones mentioned in the article I linked to above would absolutely outperform it.
However, I think you've hit the nail on the head with Brushscript MT. I just ran a test, setting the "Fender" font I downloaded against Brushscript MT, and the differences are negligible. The pic below has the Fender font above, and Brushscript below. If you use a small-cap "E" where necessary, you've pretty much got what you need.
Oh, ok then! I asked because most of them were too tricky to use!
And about the font, I thought it was the real thing on first thoughts, should've done a comparison first, but it's pretty close!
BWAHAHAHAHA! StratoPester..... Love it!
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
