Which is the leading edge professional font creation+design app at present? FontLab Studio or Fontographer, or?

Also what are people's thoughts opinions of Fontstruct?

What free applications are worth considering? TIA

Fontographer is the free option to consider. Fontlab is the pro tool, Typetool is the beginners tool. Fontstruct is nice for creating modular fonts, but that’s about it.

I think Frode meant FontForge.

We should also point out that the learning curve on FontForge is huge compared to Typetool or Fontographer

I did. Forgive me.
