I'm not aware of any free tools that I would trust to do the job. The cheapest option is probably FontCreator, which is a shareware program available from http://www.high-logic.com/fcp.html (price $50 US). I have only ever used FontCreator as a table editor, back in the days when FontLab did not write all the new OpenType name table entries. I have heard from people who have tried to use it for creating new fonts that the drawing tools leave something to be desired. The next cheapest option it probably TypeTool. This is made by the FontLab developer group, and is basically a stripped down version of FontLab 3.0 aimed at the amateur market. See http://www.fontlab.com/html/typetool.html (price $99 US). You can download a demo (does not generate fonts). John Hudson Tiro Typeworks www.tiro.com Vancouver, BC [EMAIL PROTECTED] A dinner invitation, once accepted, is a sacred obligation.
