I'd say that it is already ahead of the curve. It still lacks an outline
simplification algorithm similar to Fontographer's as far as the last
version I fiddled with several months ago, but PFAedit is in constant
change. In general, it is more capable and sticks very closely to the
Type 1 and the CFF font specs. You can expect your Postscript fonts (be
it Type 1, CID, or OTF/CFF) to be clean and work everywhere; and the
hinting algorithms are quite decent. It still has problems with Truetype
fonts but it may not be for long (perhaps not anymore).
