    TypeSmith still works on MOS. But it is commercial. If you can find a copy then it might be useful: http://www.amigareport.com/ar311/tsreview.html . But in general you can use all Amiga bitmap fonts and TrueType Fonts from outside of the Amiga (TTF). There are so many free ones on the web which you can use that you maybe do not need to draw your own fonts.

    TypeSmith handles postscript fonts.
    Its quite excellent.
    I love it.
    I have a very large library of postscript fonts for use with PageStream (DTP software).

    I love the fact there is a lot of fonts out there.. but most of them need to have the Swedish special chars added to the sets. And it is not to much problem to add if you have an font editor since the swedish chars are either an "O" with dots or an "A" with a ring or dots over it.
    So it's great to find a good font editor.. the alternative would be to edit fonts with an PC program and export them to MOS. But ofcourse it's more fun to do it on the original machine.

    Would any old amiga progam work ?

    For bitmap fonts you can use Typeface (it is on Aminet).
