"Font Industry industrialize procedure of the big charset font
production. It free the big charset font creation from artists' studio
to the average John's basement. The font market will be flooded with
huge amount of cheap, low quality, big charset, hand script font in no
time. Be scared! Be very scared!

What does Font Industry really do?

The program converts a scanned in glyph grid sheet into a bitmap font
with automatic encoding index. That's it."

LOL - funny stuff :-)

Shame it seems not to use Raph's excellent font tools (source at
http://levien.com/garden/font/ and explained at
http://www.river-valley.tv/conferences/lgm2007/media/Dave_Crossland/
in the the last third)
