Creating Your Own Font

I am looking to create a font using files we have digitized already, saved as DST or PXFs. According to Google, when you open Font Management you can click on "New" and start the process. Our software has "New" greyed out and we can only "Open" "Filter" "Import" and "Close". I can't figure out what "New" isn't an option or how to get around it.

Creating your own fonts is only possible at the Maestro level.

You can purchase the license for Font Creator separate from Maestro. At least we did, for our Illustrator Extreme tier.

I'm curious how much that was to add? I am running Artist Plus, but I have one client that always uses the same 2 or 3 fonts, that do not match any of the stock keyboard fonts, so I have to digitize them each time. I do save the common words in a separate file, but there never seems to be the one I need.

I got mine in 2014, and I do know it was under $1,000 back then. Possibly $700? But again, this was 12 years ago, that I got mine. You're going to have to speak with a sales rep of Pulse to get current rates. If you regularly do non-inhouse fonts, I'd say it's worth it. Sadly, I didn't get any training materials on how to use it, but I was able to figure it out with time. Though on DG16 there was some general bugs with fonts stability/appearing, that bled into that space, but I'm hoping the next fix will solve that.
Not sure about DG17
