Are there any good freeware apps for creating fonts? I remember using
some software several years ago, but I can't remember which program it
was, and whether it was freeware/shareware/crippleware/etc. Can Inkscape
be used to create fonts?

Try Fontstruct - it's an online creation tool that seems to work pretty
well.

Did somebody mention metafont?. Apparently some sort of learning curve,
but extremely stable and with metapost you can capitalize on your
learning when you need a picture.

Ah, metafont, the POV-Ray of font construction. Last time I checked, it
can only be used to create bitmapped fonts though...

Open a *.ttf in Inkscape and save it as an *.svg. This will give you a
plain text file to show how the font in laid out. I go from this to
hand-code letters, but I've never done a full alphabet.
