I've given up on creating fonts. All my best stuff is on paper, and there
are no free font creating programs that allow one to do a half-decent job.
I created a typeface for Rhean (nicely bleak and second-world industrial
looking), which turned out looking like garbage unless typed in banner
headline size.
Turns out there's this thing called "hinting", where you can make seperate
shapes for different font sizes so your letters will look okay when
resized. But, using a program like Font Creator Program, if you even touch
a glyph in a commercial typeface this "hinting" data disappears, leaving
your fonts looking all irregular at the smaller sizes. There seems to be no
way to create your own hinting to avoid this.
Show me a program that does otherwise, and I'll make a font for Omurax.

P.S. There's also the problem of Omurax being written right to left. I'd
need a Hebrew or Arabic word processor.
