Wanted buying used fontlab

I have been looking for a font editor able to make a bold version of an
existing font.  From my test I think Fontlab works very well, but it's
too expensive.  I look for an older version (having the transform to
bold function) in order to buy (even to rent, because my problem is
limited to three fonts only!).

There was a copy of Fontlab 3.0 on eBay last week, but nothing seems to come
up in a search now. However, there are 4 copies for Fontographer 4.1 on
there right now, one of them for $89:

Fontmonster 3.5, which was last revised in 1994 (it is a 16-bit program)
can convert existing fonts to bold (one can specify weight), and also to
italic (one can specify slope angle) and hollow. It used to be issued as
shareware in various CD-ROM collections and magazine cover disks a few
years, but not in the most recent years.

By the way, if anyone can either sell me cheaply second-hand, or direct
me to a virtually free comprehensive font creation program which can
create a font from scratch, including from scanned drawn images, I would
be very interested. I am also looking for any utility program which can
convert True Type fonts to Adobe Type 1/ATM fonts, and vice versa.

Depends what you mean by comprehensive. Font Creator is shareware, free
for a month, and it makes ttf fonts but not type 1. I don't have a
scanner, so I haven't tried that, but it does import some image file
formats including windows bitmaps. It is available here:

Hope that helps,
