I am looking at it and am able to draw but have absolutely no idea about how to create a selective font like all of those fancy created fonts out there available for download.. I just want to be able to put my own symbols in a font for use in a book or to be able to freely select it as a font and start typing. Any suggestions?

Please retry after other processes finish". I've made only about 120 other private characters without any problem like this and there are thousands of remaining empty blocks for other private characters. So I don't think it could be a space problem. Though I did experiment making one with just one bit filled and that one actually was able to save without the message popping up. Very strange. The only program that I have running at the same time is "sticky notes" so I know it's not that. I went on task manager and it didn't seem like anything was taking a huge amount of RAM. My Computer>Properties says I have 3GB available of RAM and I have over 200GB available on my hard drive. I've restarted and shut down and still the message pops up if I try again. Someone please help. I’m running Private Character Editor on Windows 7 and am trying to save one simple 64×64 bitmap character and it’s telling me “Not enough memory.

I must ask: when you have a set of characters you made and saved, can they be backed up and reinstalled to your computer after having your computer wiped out? Wow cool!!!

Could it be that the 'migration' is causing problems to the adding of fonts in the new machine?
