If you dig deeper into Fonforge’s source tree, you will discover a 2 years old fontforge.glade. Noone is working on Gtk port anymore, so this could be a start.

I find Fontforge very functional, but really old looking.

Can you also upload your older font(s) please :) Anholt, I agree that there needs to be a better font tool for OSS. How should we proceed? Or, where should we put our energy to buildup and encourage this type of development? Benji, I fixed the Open Font Library site to accept files now. Can you also upload your older font(s) please :)

I've played with fontforge a bit, but it's broken w.r.t. visuals and generally ugly in many respects, so I avoid running it. Someone should fix this :) (That and I need a scanner.
