Highlight text to annotate it

Hey there kids
Just wanted to show you a little cool thing I'm doing here
I'm making a font
What I've done here is wrote out a font here by hand using a sharpie
on criss cross paper and got rid of the blue so all you see is the black text
What I'm doing here is copying each letter off the sheet ... Like so...
Copy...
And go over to Inkscape!
Now inkscape already has a box of
1000 X 1000
The perfect size that you need the box
Edit ... Paste
It's a little raster "H"
Not a vector like this is, it's a raster.
So what we do is trace it
Trace bitmap
Bam!
Duplicate it and it's a vector
Resize it and adjust it if you want
And it's the right size...
Too big...
There we go...
File save as..
You now have open up FontForge; this ugly ***...
Click on that.. Open file... Import... SVG... find the file "H"
Whala! It's already 1000 X 1000
Ctrl+A
Set the thing where you want it
This is the "bottom" line..
Whala! When your done, File...
You can generate fonts; really easy, really awesome, really fun...
