I am interested in font editors. In fact, I am contemplating implementing one
as part of a masters project. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with
font editors!

I would like to take an informal survey on the subject of font editors.  I've
devised a short questionaire (see below) in which I tried to identify some of
the important characteristics of any given font editor. If you would take
the time to fill this out I would apprieciate it. I will post a summary of
the responses to this news group.

I would also like suggestions on books and journals on dealing with technical
aspects of computerized typography.

Thanks again for your help.
