I just stumbled across this rather useful OpenType font editor. Called typelight, there are freeware and business licensing options available and you should certainly consider it before forking out for something like Fontographer.

When design goes wrong
Nothing grounds my gears like tiny Flash fonts!
You know the situation: a designer has given you an FLA file to work from and either the text is too small to be legible for us mere mortals, or is going to be too wide when translated into Russian. Since designers rarely think of these things, I find myself either overriding text size dynamically, or using these couple of handy JSFL scripts that I wrote. One of them increases the point size of all text in an FLA, the other reduces it. You’re very welcome 🙂
