- The only software I know of for creating TT fonts is Fontographer from
- Altsys (sorry, don't have their address or phone number). It lists for
- about US $450 and sells in mail-order houses for about US $250.
-
- If you just want to edit the outlines or encoding vector of existing
- TT fonts, Fontmonger, from Ares, might suit your needs. This lists at
- about US $150 and actually sells for closer to US $100.
-
- I have no experience with either product, so don't take this as an
- endorsement.
