Font Foundations

When Matthew Carter, font-creator extraordinaire, starts on a new font, he begins with

h

and then

o

followed by

p 

and

d.

Carter's fonts include Tahoma, Verdana, and Georgia.  (The last is the font of most of this post.)

    Is there more to this and I'm missing something from a previous post?

    Not really. It's just me being random!

    I mean, did you ever stop and think how you would start creating a new font?
