How to Make Your Own Font With a Wacom Tablet
The Wacom tablet allows more control than a standard mouse. Since it is used mostly for drawing, it is a logical choice for drawing a new font. One of the easiest ways to create a new font with a Wacom tablet is to use Microsoft's "My Font Tool." While it is labeled as for tablet PCs only, it will work with any tablet, even if it is external. Within just a few minutes, you can have a brand new font made from your Wacom tablet.
