  You mention continuous Fourier Transforms, though I've never seen
  a publication dedicated to windowing that wasn't addressing the
  DFT.  

  One excellent all around source is
  "On the Use of Windows for Harmonic Analysis with the Discrete
  Fourier Transform", Fredric J. Harris, Proceedings of the IEEE,
  Vol. 66 No. 1, January 1978.

  It contains an concise summary of figures of merit for a vast
  assortment of windowing functions.

  Some other articles, while sligthly narrower of scope, include:

  "Some Novel Windows and a Concise Tutorial Comparison of Window
  Families", Nezih C. Geckinli & Davras Yavuz, IEEE Transactions on
  Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, Vol. ASSP-26, No. 6,
  December 1978.

  "Some Windows with Very Good Sidelobe Behavior", Albert H.
  Nuttall, IEEE ASSP, Vol ASSP-29, No. 1, February 1981.

  "Optimum Low-Order Windows for Discrete Fourier Transform
  Systems", Hrvoje Babic & Gabor C. Temes, IEEE ASSP, Vol. ASSP-24,
  No. 6, December 1976.
