Is there a tool for editing fonts?
I have a copy of a program called Font Editor, but only allows editing
the bitmap of the font--not the leading and kerning. It is also a pain to
use. I'm using it to create a font of music symbols, which need kerning
to be maximally useful. The rather old copy of Inside Macintosh that I
have access to explains how to use the information about fonts, but not
how to create them.
Any suggestiions will be appreciated.
