I've used High-Logic's but what I had in mind was
something a LOT easier to use. Instead of being built
for designing typeface styles it would be geared
specifically toward designing novel characters,
without having to get bogged down in the details of
vertices and b-splines. Something that would let you
define only the path the penpoint travels in drawing
the letter and having the program fill in the details
and create the nit-picky details of the letter's
outline. Perhaps something similat my Glyphmaker (
http://fiziwig.com/glyphs.html ) but with finer detail
and a built-in ttf font file creator.
