Re: Font Question

I use Fontographer which I bought several years ago.  Don't know if its
available for the Mac and can't recall how much it cost.  I remember trying
a shareware program who's name escapes me at the moment ( a senior moment I
suppose).  It was cheap, but I gave up on it after trying to figure how it
worked.  The docs were poor to nonexistent.  Fontographer worked quite well
for me and I was able to create the tal eglar (amman iar's native script)
fairly easily.
