Does anybody know anything about how fonts are created and packaged (info on subfonts would be great, info on TTF would be interesting).
Fontforge is the way I know about, also, and will give you a process something like drawing your font, or even modifying one of the handful of 'open-source' fonts, like Inconsolata. There is a ttf2subf program (http://mirtchovski.com/p9/freetype/) that will, I think, convert the Fontforge product for Plan 9. Erik has used that program or similar to convert Inconsolata, for example, and some other font-related work may be in his contrib directory. -Josh
