You might want to look at Zsoft's Publisher's Type Foundry. It will allow
you to create a full blown font of your own in either bit-mapped or outline
form. The package also comes with several base fonts in both forms for you
to build from, since even with this tool a font from scratch is a major
undertaking. If you take the outline route, you can easily make bit maps
in a variety of sizes, slants, etc., and then touch them up with the bitmap editor.
Disadvantages are the ~$200 street price, the fact that it requires Windows,
and that on a XT you will be reminded that faster machines are nice. EGA
is suggested.
There are reviews in several recent issues of PC Week, PC Magazine, etc. I
only got my copy on Friday, so have not yet formed an opinion worth listening
to.
