I'd like to recover the DEC fonts and have looked at several font creator/editors.
Frankly they are dung. Every fancy curve there is but not a straight forward line and
circle method of creating lower case characters
as DEC did it. I do need the ability to enter (or import) the lower case characters
using just circles and lines.
I just found FontForge, which is open source. A few
minutes experimentation shows that it is quite happy to draw straight lines, including
doing obvious stuff like line segments forced to be horizontal or vertical, or circles or
ellipses. Bezier curves too, of course.
