[h1]Pixel Font[/h1]
Alright, this is by far the easiest tutorial I have ever written.
Here is an example of what we will be making.
1. Make a new doccument, size doesn't matter much.
a. Select the pencil tool, set it to 1 pixel.
Screen Shot
b. Zoom in to 1200-1600%.
c. Draw the letters.
Screen Shot
2. Sizing.
a. Keep the height of all the letters the same.
b. The width should vary from 3-5 pixels depending on the letter. (I = 3, M = 5).
Screen Shot
3. File > Save
Finished!

Really kool.
Could anyone be so kind as to tell me of a program that would help me in creating my own font's? Not one's that you have to cut, then add. But like, if i press "F" on my keyboard, an "F" in my font show's up.
Thank's.

I'm not quite sure how to do it. I know you have to save your font letters as BMP files. Use Google.

Well i did have one program, but it dident really work... lol, you started out like this, and you made you're font, then there would be Bracket's for Uppercase, and lowercase, and you would just add them in. And then save it as .TTF. But it dident work for me.. <.< lol.

You need a program such as Macromedia Fontographer.
Pixel fonts will be drawn as bitmaps (generally speaking, but they can also be done as vectors) and most other fonts as vectors. Theres a lot to take into account when creating a typeface though
