    Oops!  I guess I didn't see this original reply.  Go to www.fontlab.com.
Here's the thing: You can only have Fontlab for three days, after which point
you can't save any of your fonts.  So here's what I did.  Fontlab costs $399.
 There's no way I was spending that much money.  However, their Typetool only
costs $99 (still pricey, but not too bad).  You can't design fonts with
Typetool; only adjust them.  You can save fonts, though.  So I kept the
non-paid-for version of Fontlab, and I use it to design fonts.  Then I simply
paste them onto the template on Typetool and voilà!  It's pretty sneaky, but
I like the results.
