There is a company located in San Jose called Integrated Solutions, that
has a VME based system with full BSD4.2 UNIX and multi-windows, that comes
with a font editor that is quite easy to use.  It allows editing fonts
of any size - (limited to window size), and has features like mirror, move,
and copy region.  This allows, for example creating half of the letter A,
and then mirroring the image to complete the character.  The IS VME systems
currently have fonts with 17 planes each of 96 character.  The font editor
does not currently work on standard UNIX fonts, but I'm sure it could be
modified.
