In reply to Illustrator CS5 Calligraphic Font Creation:
(I don't mind being predictable if it's for a good cause. :-)
Jason, typographic letterforms are not "expanded skeletons".
It might be tempting to think of the process you're following
as adequate for a beginner; I'd counter that it's a damaging
foundation for future development.
Try to think of a font as a collection of black and
white shapes that "talk to each other" to form words.
