Its not $20 anymore...
Doing a quick search, I now see the software I purchased for $20 is now $39 - I bought the app, back in 2001. (Sorry, unless you have a way to travel through time.)Originally Posted by torstan
If you're looking for a free font creator app, $39 is nowhere near that, so this is not for you, I suppose. I don't understand why font creator apps are so expensive though (I've found software for $999 - who'd buy that?)
Actually that fontstructor site looks pretty good and might be worth a try.

39$ is a lot closer to free than Fontographer which used to be the be-all-end-all font program back in the day...its no longer made I don't think.

It lives again. Same company has a number of other tools at various price points as well, though none are free.

Beware the Killer Angry ChickenI would consider a free font creation program as the Holy Grail of the internet. Let the quest begin.
Yes but some of us are so po' we can't afford the O or the RFree is not a holy grail, what works best is the only important thing and sometimes you have to pay for the priviledge.

Just found this: ppFonter
I did another search and found this... ppFonter Bitmap Font Maker 2.2 - free download, only $19.99 purchase price, but I don't know the quality of the application. It has a 5 star rating (?!)
Here's the link: ppFonter 2.2
I'm downloading the free trial - I'll tell you what I think of it, once I play some. (Although the description hints that this might not really be a font creator, so much as a converter of formats.)
Font Creator Home Edition is $65
High Logic Font Creator is $79

You would think The GIMP would have some sort of Plugin for Font Design.
