well, you don't absolutely need to go to linux - you might try fontforge 
on windows first - see http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/faq.html#windows 
but i suppose a unixey os will be easier for some things.

the advantage to fontforge over something that just edits .ttf files or 
its own internal format is that its quite easy to exchange a subset of 
change you have done or just one change to a character.
