It's a free program from Microsoft (well, they bought it from e2) but it requires a cover letter and my involvement in font production.
I just want to play with the program. I'm looking for an app so I can start experimenting with the OpenType format.
I've yet to find anything other than Macromedia Fontographer or FontMaker that allows me to format fonts outta Illustrator. But in both cases you're limited to PostScript and TrueType.
I figure that since Visual TrueType is free that it'd be ok to ask for it here.
