Pleas, just give me a link of where I can make a font.
You know what ? get lost.
I found out what program I need to make a font, but it cost $80.
If it is a good one it is a bargain but for that price it is probably not ...
Anyway you found out how to ... and that is good.
Keep the default avatar. It suits you better than anyone

For a font creator software, it's cheap.

For a good software, no, I don't Know one free.
For a bad software :

Isn't Fontforge solely for Mac or Linux? Didn't see a Windows executable version.
I actually have used Softy, it's not the best one out there but it is good for some uses.

http://www.geocities.jp/meir000/fontforge/fontforge-mingw_2010_05_18.zip I downloaded FontForge but I get an error message saying it can't find pthreadGC2.dll - that file is there but how do I tell the program this? And if I do need Virtual Box where can I get it?
thanx in advance!
