What software can i use to create fonts? I downloaded a couple of trial's for different "font editors" but i dont really like them. Can i create my bitmaps in fireworks and then import them into a font editor?

Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

A few of the more inexpensive ones:
"Type light - a freeware OpenType™ font editor"
http://www.cr8.netfi.../typelight.html

"Type 2.2 - OpenType™ font editor for typeface design"
http://www.cr8.netfi...ype.html#header

"FontCreator - the most popular font editor!"
http://www.high-logi...ontcreator.html

"FontForge -- An open source outline font editor"
http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/

"TypeTool
Basic font editor."
http://www.fontlab.c...ditor/typetool/

I have never tried, but you can probably export .ai or .eps from fireworks that you can then import into any of these.

Font creater is the worlds most popular font editor and so it has an intuitive interface that allows beginners to become productive immediately and it contains the powerful drawing tools that font designers require to create and edit high-quality TrueType and OpenType fonts.
