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.
