Free Font Editors and Font Creation Software / Sites
Ever fancied making or designing your own fonts? The free software listed on this page allow you to create and edit your own fonts. Depending on the software, the program may allow you to create a TrueType, OpenType, Postscript, bitmap / raster font, or some other type of font.
Note: if you want a fully-featured commercial software, you may want to consider either FontLab Studio or Fontographer. Both have versions for Windows and Mac OS X.
For those who merely want to use free fonts rather than create their own fonts, please see the Free Fonts page instead. In addition, if you only want to create bitmap or raster fonts, you may also want to check out the Free Resource Editors and Compilers page, which may have font editors to create and edit raster fonts.

Information about how to use it can be found in the Help menu of the program.
