Professional tools: http://www.fontlab.com/Font-tools/FontLab-4.6/ http://www.fontlab.com/Font-tools/AsiaFont-Studio/ http://www.fontmaster.nl/english/ Cheaper options: http://www.fontlab.com/Font-tools/TypeTool/ http://www.high-logic.com/fcp.html Free tools: http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/ There is also a new shareware tool available from http://www.cr8.netfirms.com/index10.html but I have not tried it. If you are interested in developing OpenType fonts with glyph substitution and positioning, you will also want to take a look at Microsoft's free VOLT tool: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/VOLT.mspx I recommend reading most of the developer links at the MS typography website http://www.microsoft.com/typography even if your target system is not Windows.
