non-experts guide to making libre fonts, quickly and easily […]'

I suggest 'efficiently' instead of 'quickly and easily'. I'm making  
fonts since the midst 1980s and I have never considered this easy.

In the period 1980-1996 the Dutch pianist and conductor Reinbert de  
Leeuw recorded Satie's 'Gnossiennes' and 'Gymnopédies'. He performed  
these *extremely* slow (for instance his first 'Gymnopédie' is half as  
fast as Aldo Ciccolini's interpretation). I recall his remark that  
there were many pianists that could play fast, but that nobody could  
play as slow as he did. The result is absolutely beautiful.
