The only software I know of for creating TT fonts is Fontographer from
Altsys (sorry, don't have their address or phone number). It lists for
about US $450 and sells in mail-order houses for about US $250.

If you just want to edit the outlines or encoding vector of existing
TT fonts, Fontmonger, from Ares, might suit your needs. This lists at
about US $150 and actually sells for closer to US $100.

I have no experience with either product, so don't take this as an
endorsement.
