Here are some thought and resources on the major typeface design tool available today: FontLab, from Pyrus Software.

• A layout for a massively large menu bar for FontLab, intended to expose more readily the various operations that can be performed on a particular item or selection.
  
• A PDF listing the various operations listed in the Customize... dialog of FontLab 4.6.1 v38 for Macintosh. Download this to begin customization of the FL user interface, particularly the keychord shortcuts. A Munchfonts original, never before attempted by man or beast.
