I've used Gimp for my font creation, but I'm not too good so I just download all the fonts a can.

I'm willing to try anything once. Where can I find this "Gimp" that you speak of?

I could be wrong, but I believe he's talking about the image program for Linux. Unless there's another Gimp around somewhere...

The two main font creation programs are FontLab and Macromedia's Fontographer (which has been updated in years). I believe some people also use Adobe Illustrator as well.

GIMP runs on Windows too, but in my experience it's sort of like running a marathon backwards on stilts. You'll get there - one day - but you'll be bruised and bloody from falling a lot. ;)

There's a new Gimp version out for windows that doesn't have that tragic crash-o-matic problem. The windows version is nearly up to par with the UNIX version now.
More interestingly, exactly how does one go about taking a gimp file and turning it into a font? I'm obviously ignorant of this capability, or for that matter the technical issues involved.
