The symbol template allows you create fonts especially meant to include dingbats and other symbols. With room for 221 symbols, this four page template is the perfect solution to make fonts based on drawings of your pets, cartoons, signatures, logos, etc.

Scanahand allows you to make your own templates. For each template you can define your own character set (for example with Czech or Greek characters), so it allows you to create multilingual fonts. The template editor is available in both editions, but you need the premium edition in order to generate a font based on a custom template. For your convenience we've collected several custom templates.

Scanahand Premium Edition allows you to set the font style of your fonts. For example if you want to generate a bold font, just use a thick pen and set the font style accordingly.
