.  Does anyone know of any MS-DOS software (commercial or otherwise) that
allows one to design a letter font graphically and output it in Type 1
format? Another useful feature would be to read a Type 1 font and preview it,
or diagnose problems in the encoding which would prevent it being accepted
by ATM or other software that uses Type 1 fonts.
   A while ago I posted something about Hebrew fonts in Type 1 that are
available commercially, but I still don't like the look of most of them,
and I'd be interested in trying to design my own if I can get the proper
tools together. Needless to say, any constructive suggestions will be
appreciated.
