I'd like to recover the DEC fonts and have looked at several font
creator/editors.
Frankly they are dung. Every fancy curve there is but not a straight forward
line and circle method of creating lower case characters
as DEC did it. I do need the ability to enter (or import) the lower case
characters using just circles and lines.
I just found FontForge, which is open source. A few minutes experimentation
shows that it is quite happy to draw straight lines, including doing obvious
stuff like line segments forced to be horizontal or vertical, or circles or
ellipses. Bezier curves too, of course.

do anything.
Got as far as loading an empty font and picked a letter o
goes to some kind of blank edit screen,

down menu.
Click on help and it comes up with something about glyphs
