[Eug-lug]making fonts for linux

[Ben Huot]

I wanted to create some open source fonts for Linux. I found Softy and Typetool at 25 and then 100 usd. I wanted to know if there is anything I would need to know to design good ones.

Are these tools adequate - I'm not spending 500 usd for a program I'm not going to make any money off of.

Should I take a course first on typesetting - this would have to wait at least 6 months when I might be getting enough money to afford a UO class.
