Since the only readily available font editor for X is a user-contributed
program, how were (are) the X fonts created in the first place?
I looked in the FAQ but found no answer to this question.

A number of the MIT X11 fonts are the same as were in the MIT Lisp Machine. This machine had a very nice font editor, much nicer than the one that comes with X. My point is that those fonts have been around for quite a while. As to the other fonts, they were probably generated using some other in-house font editor and then ported to X. -- tom, ekberg@asl.dl.nec.com (x3503)
