How can I create my own fonts on my computer?

Question

I am really interested in making my own fonts so that I can personalize my typed paperwork.

Does doing so require any specific programs? And if so, are they something that I can download off the internet in which i can create fonts?

Any information that you have on creating your own fonts would be great.

Thanks in advance.
