    Tried using FontStruct to re-create my drawings, but unfortunately the pieces you're given with don't provide sufficient control for what I'm trying to do (particularly with the slope of curves; you basically have one choice of slope).

    FontStruct is definitely fun to mess around with, and maybe I'll use it to create a full font someday, but for now I'm going to stick with vector tools that give me a bit more control.

    For the record, I think this sucks, hehe. Just dribbled it because someone suggested I try FontStruct.

    You tried Font Lab? You can copy paths from Illustrator and paste them into Font Lab, works pretty good. Overall the interface is a bit confusing though.

    I actually really like these letterforms though. Especially the "n" and the "m" :P

    I've played with the demo version of TypeTool (a basic editor from FontLab) but haven't tried FontLab Studio. There didn't seem like much point in trying FL since I have no intention of paying $700 for the full version as a beginner, hehe. TypeTool seemed pretty good, and if I ever decided to fully publish a font I'd probably use that.
