Default Anyone here create custom typefaces?

Then you might like this program, I came across it recently. Has anyone heard of or used this program for creating custom typefaces before?

You don't realize how complicated and time consuming creating a typeface is till you actually get in there and try it! Whew

Ardcor's typefaces he has made are very nice. I encourage all of you to go download them and check them out!

The more serious typographs spend years making a typeface (typeface, not font). Therein lies the conflict with fonts bought from fontfont (or similar) versus dafont, the more expensive fonts that has taken longer to develop features ligatures, extensive kerning and all the glyphs, while dafont-fonts are usually just letters. I'd like to try and create a font sometime, but me beeing somewhat of a perfectionist combined with limited patience... well, it could become a problem
