What's the experience with Font Forge for creating pixel fonts? I have never used it but I always assumed that a font creation tool made for arbitrary style "vector" fonts is probably unwieldy if all you want is square pixels, to be rendered pixel-perfect, etc.

It's pretty much MS Paint type experience. You get a grid and color pixels black or white. But you can move up/down grid sizes automatically and then you get to fix it at different grid sizes.
