Well, the first few fonts I did where with Corel Draw, too. I've even
written a short paper on the process, but in Dutch, unfortunately. Corel
Draw has (or had, this ia ages ago) the problem that it couldn't hint
TrueType fonts, making it next to impossible to use them on-screen.
Pyrus Scanfont is ideal for conlanging: you simply draw the font on
paper, scan it and place the individual characters on the right character
cells. However, it can handle only a small amount of characters and is
really not Unicode compatible.
You can find my fonts at: http://www.valdyas.org/conlang.html.
