Robin:
You might want to give Z-Softs Type Foundry a look.  They provide an
editor that runs in a microsoft Windows environment on a PC that 
lets you edit either bit or outline fonts.   There are also 
programs included to allow you to convert between the formats.
Interesting way to make Laserjet fonts from a Postscript outline
or vice-versa.
Good-Luck
