I've used Metafont and Metapost to create fonts, both under Linux (but
they work under Windows, too, I assume).  Metafont enables you to
produce native fonts for LaTeX.  In my other project I'm planning to
create TTFs somehow from the output of Metapost (not yet done).

You could also use Fontforge to edit font files, it is a graphical
tool -- Metafont and Metapost use text input.  Fontforge allows you to
export the font files (SFD files, IIRC) to TTF, so then you can
probably use it in Word (I have never used it, but TTFs are quite
general).
