What a great resource YouTube is! Here you can see an introduction to FontLab Studio 5.0.2. I wish he had actually had a glyph outline to demonstrate with, but hopefully this will give you an idea of the power of FontLab. You can also find other videos about FontLab, and type design in general, on YouTube. A free demo version of FontLab Studio, as well as documentation, is available at FontLab. Yes, FontLab Studio is the software I use for all my type design work. If you have questions about it, perhaps I can answer them.
