I'm using a package called ZSOFT Type Foundry and would recomend it.  It
runs on a PC under Windows and allows you to design or modify fonts as 
either bit image or outline.  Conversion programs are included to 
rasterize an outline font, or convert a bit image to an outline.  You can
take your HP fonts and edit them very easily.  However, if you are not a 
typeographer, you will very efficiently and quickly be designing very
UGLY fonts!   I'm using the TF with scanned in images and then creating
logos and such.   Again, if you are not an artist, (I'm not) you can 
easily make AUFUL work.    Using the toys is easy.  Its designing the 
fonts thats hard.
Good-Luck James!
