I’ve realized that, for the most part, Fontlab is a pretty useless job skill. Nothing screws up a design job interview like the following:

“Do you know Flash?”

Nope.

“Dreamweaver?”

No.

“Javascript?”

Nada.

“So aside from Indesign and Photoshop, what software are you good at?”

Fontlab.

“Fontlab? Ummmm…right.”

On the upside, I guess this keeps out of dead-end web production jobs.
