I really don't know what you're talking about. I've been creating fonts
with no problems.  Chapter 6 of the Tools SDK describes the FONT Editor,
which allows you to either create a .FNT description file from scratch
or edit a given .FNT font. I found it quite nice considering that one can
run multiple copies of it, which can communicate through the clipboard.
Quite handy to Cut a character description from one and Paste it into another.

Of course this is not enough to create a .FON file, which is all described
in detail on Chapter 18 -- Fonts of the Guide to Programming.
