Fontforge is the way I know about, also, and will give you a process
something like drawing your font, or even modifying one of the handful
of 'open-source' fonts, like Inconsolata. There is a ttf2subf program
(http://mirtchovski.com/p9/freetype/) that will, I think, convert the
Fontforge product for Plan 9. Erik has used that program or similar
to convert Inconsolata, for example, and some other font-related work
may be in his contrib directory.
