Several people have been requesting font editors for X.V10.  By the end of this
week I will distribute sources for "fed", a font editor that we have used to
design over two dozen different fonts.  It is not a Mac-style application,
rather it splits .onx files into a separate bitmap-format files and then
rejoins them form a new .onx file.  It may not be very pretty but I've used
it to create fonts with characters as large as 912x164 pixels (our company
logo) and routinely use it on fonts that contain 100x100 pixel characters. 

Although I haven't yet decided on the distribution format it will probably be
sent to net.sources as well as being put somewhere on the ARPAnet (any
sites want to volunteer a dumping place?).  Comments or suggestions are
welcome by email or phone.
