You can also use TTX (fonttools, http://sourceforge.net/projects/fonttools/) for converting TrueType font to XML. Then you can editing it manually. When done, you recompile it whith TTX to have a binary font.

Have you considered using font editors such as fontforge? see http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/

I believe you can visually modify the glyphs outline and save the resulting font.

I don't know of any quick way to visually check the glyph outlines points that FreeType2 generates but you can write your own "glyph viewer" using a GUI framework (eg, gtk+cario, wx). You will need to convert the point/commands sets into the correct MOVE_TO, LINE_TO, CURVE_TO, etc. This way you easily see the effect of your modified point.
