Karambir-ji,

The following are some pointers for creating OpenType fonts.

1. http://www.microsoft.com/typography/tt/tt.htm :
This has links to the OpenType specification, as well as the
specification to create Arabic and Indic script fonts.
2. http://www.microsoft.com/typography/developers/volt/default.htm :
This has resources for using the Visual OpenType Layout Tool (VOLT),
which can be used to add layout tables to fonts. You might want to join
the VOLT users community listed there. Many members of this community
are developing OpenType fonts.
3. http://www.microsoft.com/typography/tools/vtt.htm :
Visual TrueType (VTT), a tool to add hints to fonts containing TrueType
outlines is available at this url. This url has a link to additional VTT
resources.
4. http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/otlist.htm :
This contains information about the OpenType discussion forum.

Thanks, -apurva
