Font Design App for the Other 1/3...

There is a new font editor for the geek in all of us. PFAEdit is an open source font editor developed for the Linux operating system. Designed to work similar to Fontographer, PFAEdit offers a robust interface including nearly all of the standard utilities, options and workspace environments designers are familiar with. Although still rough around the edges, and a bit in between, it is certainly a great first step for designers looking for a way out of their current OS or who can’t afford a commercial package. With added interest and support, PFAEdit could take its place in the commercial design arena as a viable choice for small firms and freelancers.

Windows and OSX versions are also available.

The source code is particularly interesting. There's a nice bag of tricks in there for anyone willing to deal with C.

I've been playing with PFAEdit for a while now; quite a neat program, indeed-- especially for the price!
