Font-Designware
Noting over in the Manga Studio thread that Jason's got Fontographer, and I have Typetool 3 on my own Macbook. Is it arguable that having font design tools and being familiar with them is a good thing for a comics artist? I am inclined to say "yes" to this, although my rationale would almost certainly be taken to pieces with some ease...

Pay for professionally created fonts by people who know what they're doing, and just concentrate on using type well.
The only practical use I ever made of it was to import a font that had a few glyphs that I saw problems with, and fix them. Oh, and I added some missing accented characters by altering existing ones. But I've since found professional fonts that are better and complete, so I just use those instead.
