Is there any software written IN LISP that can read/write
JPEG images? If not, is there anyone who would be willing
to write such a utility for a fee?
Is there also any software IN LISP to render fonts using
anti-aliasing technology? Again, if not, anyone want to write it
for a price?
And generally, are there any graphics editing packages in LISP?
It's easy to find multiple sources of these utilities written in C.
I've written code to read/write and render fonts using GIFS,
but I need it to do JPEGs also. All this source code can be made
available.

Is there any reason you cannot use the Independent JPEG Group's library
through a FFI? JPEG is not a small or simple format and rewriting
something like that would take a lot of time and expertise.

There are a few reasons, the primary is that my goal is to have
a lisp-based operating system where everything is written in lisp.
Another is that a FFI interface is a high-maintaince, low-debuggable
solution. The final is that using a FFI to a static C library limits
what you can do (at least efficiently). If I have lisp source code,
I can easily change and edit it and integrate it efficiently
into my applications.
