Today, integrating a specific typeface onto a web page has become easy. The temptation, for many reasons, to create your own font is strong.

One could go on at length about the reasons for creating your own font, since there are fortunately many others, but that is not the point here. Creating your own font is within reach of the first fool who comes along, since I managed it! And it can be done for free. And that is the experience I’m going to share in this article!
