I guess there's first time for everything.
I have to admit I'm some sort of a font geek. Some time ago I was crawling through SourceForge and I found a neat piece of software called BirdFont, I'm not sure if it's really Open Source, but the free version of it allows me to create fonts as long as I publish them wit SIL Open Font License, which is perfectly fine for me.
Thank You
