-
- You have two choices for creating Postscript or TrueType fonts:
- Fontographer 3.5.x
- from Altsys or FontStudio 2.x from Letraset.
-
- Both, I believe, are available from MacConnection.
-
- For bitmap fonts, Fontastic from Altsys is available on the commercial
- side. I've
- never had much success with the shareware/pd editors (the names of which
- escape me
- right now).
