Hi, does anyone here make fonts ? Which software do you use ?

The tools & since you like appimages.
The usual fontforge I sometimes use this just for 'fixing' a broken font.
https://appimage.github.io/FontForge/
or
Birdfont Possibly easier to use for creating a font but the dark interface and symbolic icons are horrible

For designing, do a search

Inkscape to create the glyphs & FontForge to create the .ttf like I mentioned in the other topic.
I'm just working on a font from 1970s that I couldn't find in any other format than .gif image.
First I though to make it Gimp Custom Font, but decided otherwise to be able to use it also in other editors.
But I'm already getting super-hyped about the SVG fonts
because it allows the use of colors, gradients and other attributes which is not possible in traditional TTF or OTF format.
