You've received nine public responses: one from a genuine font designer, two (or more, depending on interpretation) from people who have designed fonts at some time but don't identify themselves as "font designers," and the remainder from people who definitely aren't font designers. It would be disingenuous to suggest that the other 591+ list members who have not responded must therefore be font designers.
But we got a glimpse of the diversity that's out there.

Not a font designer, and a very a-typical user of fonts as well,
since for my work I must disregard most of the advanced features
of the very larg collection of fonts I work with, and my tool, http://www.unicode.org/unibook/ by necessity even disregards
the encoding.
