I've also been able to save a ton of projects with corrupted font fixing and or platform conversions.
I strongly recommend this program if you need to edit fonts or take care of clients that are still stuck in the Windows world.

I am very pleased to see an OS X version after all, but I am not sure how this product is placed towards FontLab which is now published by the same company. Anyway, welcome back FontoGrapher!
