Professional tools:

Cheaper options:

Free tools:

There is also a new shareware tool available from
http://www.cr8.netfirms.com/index10.html
but I have not tried it.
If you are interested in developing OpenType fonts with glyph substitution and

I recommend reading most of the developer links at the MS typography website
http://www.microsoft.com/typography
even if your target system is not Windows.
