Make Thai Fonts That Sell

What you actually get

Seven of the twelve parts end with an artefact — a compiled font, a QA report that passes, a release folder, a finished listing — and the pipeline that produces them is part of the $39 Core purchase, not an upsell. Three end with a judgement rather than a file, and we would rather name them here than have you find out after paying: module 1 leaves you with a revenue route you have chosen, module 2 with a licence call you can make about any font file you are handed, and module 3 with the ability to open a font and see what is broken in it. The last two are appendices — reference you keep open while you work.

Core takes you from an empty folder to a packaged, QA-passed font you are allowed to list for sale, without buying anything else, ever. Pro is the parametric original-design engine, the visual proof tooling, and the EULA templates in Thai and English — an accelerator on top of a pipeline you already own.

The list below is the real table of contents, not a sample, and every outcome on it is rendered from the same data file the product itself is built from.

1. 0 Your first font in 45 minutes A working .ttf/.woff2 family with your own name inside it, installed and typed with
2. 1 How fonts actually make money Read free → A revenue route you have chosen, with expectations that match reality
3. 2 Licensing: what you may sell, and what you may not A licence decision map, and the ability to answer 'can this be sold?' about any font file
4. 3 Font anatomy - only the parts that matter You can open a font in fontTools, list its tables, and know what breaks when each is wrong
5. 4 Derived families, done properly A second family built from your own config, passing QA, with a licence file that is correct
6. 5 Using AI for glyphs - and where it stops working An AI-assisted workflow that produces reference, not copies, and a provenance record you can defend
7. 6 Original design without being good at drawing Your own original outlines, compiled to TTF + WOFF2 with your name and vendor ID inside
8. 7 The QA that makes a font sellable A QA report that passes from one command, plus a pre-release checklist you can print
9. 8 Packaging and shipping One release folder you can zip and send to a client or upload to a marketplace
10. 9 Listing it for sale Channels you can genuinely join from Thailand, one completed listing, and a promo image set
11. A Appendix A - the problems you will actually hit Unblocked on both Windows and macOS, with every error this pipeline emits and its fix
12. B Appendix B - glossary and sources Every term defined, and a grouped source list telling you when to open each one

Two tiers, and exactly where the line falls

Core is the complete build pipeline: zero to a packaged font. Pro is the parametric original-design engine, the visual proof tooling, and the EULA templates in Thai and English. Pro buys you speed and a commercial layer. It is not the difference between being able to ship a font and not being able to. Neither list below is typed into this page: both are rendered from the toolkit's own data file, so this section changes when the product changes rather than when someone remembers to update the marketing.

Where a module uses a Pro file, it says so on the spot and names the Core route to the same end state in the same place. A Core buyer is never left holding a command they cannot run.

Who this is not for

Three groups should not buy this. Saying so up front is cheaper for both of us:

• Anyone unwilling to touch a command line. We hold your hand line by line, but Python has to run on your machine.
• Anyone expecting a complete 20,000-glyph text family in a weekend. That is months of work and no toolkit changes it.
• Anyone who wants video. This is written, work-along material. There is no video.
