In the light of the recent font creation and optimization discussions - here's an interesting and quite helpful article:

Another one the I found very helpful:

Though it would be a bit of a project to sign up for, and perhaps boring for the more experienced on this site, but font-making tutorial would be a great addition to this site! Not to say that the site lacks anything without it, but I think the tutorials available thus far are rather vague and do leave much to be desired. I am considering adding some tutorials (FontCreator specific) on my blog.

Meh. I don't think I should be writing tutorials just yet... best leave it up to those with a bit more experience lol
