   I bought a copy of FontMonger this week (ordered it from MacConnection
   the same day they got their first shipment... it's serial number 26!).

[ favorable review deleted ]

I was just curious... how does FontMonger compare to Metamorphosis and
Evolution?  Are there things one can do that the others cannot?  

I'm particularly concerned with hinting.  You noted that FontMonger
preserves hints, but has anyone tried converting an Adobe Type 1 font
to TrueType and comparing the results?
