Windows XP has many secret features and applications built into it. One such is a secret font editor thats hidden inside the Windows installation. Using this font editor, you can create logos and upto 6,400 unique characters!

The Private Character Editor, or the PCE, contains special basic tools that allow you to create and edit fonts, and there are advanced options for the expert as well.

Here is how you can use PCE,

1. From the RUN command, type eudcedit.
2. You can choose to link your private characters to all the fonts in your font library (so that any font you’ve selected can display your private characters), or you can choose to link your private characters only to specific fonts (so that only the specified font can display your private characters).
3. Using the Select Code dialog box, you can view your entire set of private characters. The Select Code dialog box displays miniature views of all your private characters with their corresponding hexadecimal values.
4. If you want to create a new private character using an existing character as your model, you can copy the existing character to the Edit grid and then modify it to suit your needs, or you can display the existing character in a Reference window alongside your Edit grid for use as a visual reference. You can use any character from any font that is installed on your computer.
5. By default, PCE creates characters using the Unicode character set. In addition, if you have installed one of the Asian input languages (such as Chinese, Japanese, or Korean), you can also use PCE with the Windows character set.

This software reminded me so much of Visual Studio 2005. Thanks to Pranav for telling me about this!
