Nikolaus Waxweiler said:FontLab 5 seems like something I don't want to use, 6 appears to be much better though (the feature page has my mouth watering). It however remains in development with no release date I can find. I can't find any info on UFO support for FontCreator, that's a dealbreaker. And the UFO format isn't even that good. This leaves only Glyphs, with RoboFont as a specialist tool.
The way I see it, RoboFont is a font editor framework which can (and must) be tailored to your needs. It is more of a general tool in my opinion.0 -

A tool that needs tailoring to be useful is a specialist tool, as you need to know what you need and how to get there efficiently.
