Here's a very rough list of wishlist/feature requests for the [[http://fontforge.sf.net|fontforge]] font design suite by George Williams. 

It is a very advanced program but from the perspective of designers things could be improved.

The changelog is moving fast and well worth watching:

This initial list comes from listening to feedback from designers giving Fontforge a quick test drive. This doesn't take into account the possible complexity of actually implementing these features. It's basically a summary of "wouldn't it be nice if fontforge had this feature?" conversations.

Feel free to add your own thoughts and refine this list:

 * change grey background to white (DONE)
 * improve OS X packaging (Aqua port?)
 * reduce the node points
 * consider implementing a python interpreter to be able to reuse Fontlab scripts (DONE)
 * provide an UFO import/export filter (DONE)
 * include better graphic tablet support
 * allow shortcuts to be redefined
 * provide an options to synchronize menus with Fontlab where possible (gimpshop-like)
 * drop the not-quite respectful error messages
 * be able to see point coordinates in the canvas
 * GTK+ port: UNDERWAY - mostly the viewer
 * better hinting tools
 * better tools to tweak smart features (like Graphite description language)
 * Microsoft Visual OpenType Tool (VOLT) like UI
 * VOLT like accessibility and improvement for non-latin complex scripts like range Indic Scripts and others.
