You did not answer my question, but I will assume you are looking for a Linux font editor. One that I know of is Fontforge: http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/

You can also search Google for Linux font editors.

If you are making a web page, the preferred method is to put in background images in the text using a <span> tag.

yes, i'm running linux

my general idea is to:
1. edit installed font and to replace just uppercase letters with letters taken from "png" images
2. use that modified font in Firefox

10x for giving directions
