uh why is it so difficult ? I mean, I understand that can be hard.. but so hard ?

From all I’ve learned by lurking on Typophile.com, yes; the $20–40 per weight-style most fonts sell for is quite reasonable given the work required to produce it.

I've been considering re-starting the whole thing using Metatype1 and using what I've drawn as check points, but haven't found the time yet.
