I see that he develops them in FontForge.

Do you know about his development model?

Does he edit the .sfd file and export to .ttf or does he just edit the
.ttf in FontForge?

If he edits the .sfd it would be great if he could release that
publicly and also release a way to automatically convert the .sfd to
.ttf.
