Font editor for PS, TrueType and OpenType fonts

FontForge (formerly PfaEdit) allows you to edit outline and bitmap fonts. You can create new ones or modify old ones. It is also a font format converter and can convert among PostScript (ASCII & binary Type 1, some Type 3s, some Type 0s), TrueType, and OpenType (Type2), CID-keyed, SVG, CFF and multiple-master fonts.

This package also provides these programs and utilities: 

 fontimage - produce a font thumbnail image;
 mensis    - examine and modify some of the tables in
             a truetype or opentype font;
 sfddiff   - compare two font files;
 showttf   - decompose a font file into its various tables
             and display it.
