Unless you're really going to create new typefaces on a regular
basis, consider the combination of a good PostScript drawing
program (Illustrator or FreeHand) combined with Altsys' Art Importer
(formerly KeyMaster). AI takes drawings and creates a downloadable
typeface and screen bitmaps which you can fine tune with AI's editor.
