I would suggest the OpenFontLibrary (OFLB) wiki:
http://openfontlibrary.org/wiki/Knowledge_Resources
http://openfontlibrary.org/wiki/Books

as well as the fontforge tutorial as a good starting poing:
http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/editexample.html

And for handwriting/script open fonts, did you come across these two:
