How Do I Convert A ZIP File To A TTF File?

[Hawk]

I want to make a font that I got off the internet but it came in the form of PNGs that you have to arrange one by one and I'm trying to convert it into a font so I can just type normally BUT I can't find anything that can actually convert ZIP to TTF

How do I do it?

I don't know if it's actually free or not, but it claims to convert any image type to TTF format.

Okay so I can't convert it to a TTF now what am I supposed to do?

Didin't you say the Zip file contained PNG images? Unzip them. Convert them.

Other than that I have no idea.

Edit: how about this?

Well it limits you to one file only, but you can use an all purpose extractor which doesn't convert anything

Yeah, that's all I did, in my feeble attempt to help. Well, Bing anyway.

I was being sarcastic, do you really think I didn't try that?

[Zekiran]

Yes. Yes we really do think that Hawk, given your post history here...

If you want to make a font, you have to actually use software geared to it.

Zip files are not art. They are archives.

Anyone with the most basic knowledge of any computer terminology would know that.

Hawk, what's inside the Zip file? You said something about PNG files?

Zekiran is right. A zip file isn't an image, it's a container. Basically a folder.

It doesn't make sense to ask if a zip file can be converted to a True Type Font file, no more than it would to ask if a folder can be converted to a MP3 file.

So, in an effort to help, I am asking what is inside the ZIP file.

Well I found a website where you can download fonts and it says that it can take zip files for multiple characters in one font, I tried to upload that but it needs to be approved by the community in order to get uploaded, I didn't make it but I did credit the original author, I only tried this method because when you download a font from that website it gives you a TTF file

And the zip file contains other folders

Alphabet/Numbers/Symbols

Then the PNG images are in all in the categories, but like I said it comes in the form of PNG images you have to arrange one by one, so I'm trying to make a TTF file so I can use it like an actual font that I can type with

[Masque]

It sounds like you need to convert all the individual, unzipped PNG files, and that's probably complicated, and it's time-consuming. You should wait and see if the site approves the folders you sent them, and let them do it.

The only problem with your "answer" is that I maybe put it INTO a ZIP file

Did you notice how I said I want to convert a ZIP to a TTF?

Well, good luck, Hawk.
