I’am a graphic designer and in near future i’am considering to create a Font. So i have to watch out for good design-tools - I know TypeTool, but what you think about FontLab?

I used TypeTool to integrate some customer logos - but i guess to create a proffessional font i need a stronger tool.

my second question is about Typedesign knowledge - are there any books available about this topic?

can anybody give me some tips!

thanks a lot, alex
