#WHY CANT I CREATE A GLYPH ACCOUNT HOW TO#

In this window, the user can type text into a box and have the corresponding glyphs of the font under development appear. The Background:ДЇontForge has a convenient way to adjust letter spacing (tracking), called the Metrics Window. The problem seems to have been caused by my own enormous ignorance on the technical aspects of digital fonts and font editors, but I am sure that there are other amateur type designers outside who are likewise lacking in technical know-how.

So when I had problems getting any kind of kerning to work, and procrastination (predictably) didnвЂ™t make the problems go away, I buckled down and finally came up with this.

As far as I can find, the only help information available for FontForge is a few tutorials and an Issues site on GitHub, which is geared more towards fixing bugs and other software problems, not helping inexperienced users like me figure out how to do things. It often assumes you already have some expertise in the subject, which may not be the case. I love open-source software, but one of the downsides is that the help information available for it is sorely lacking, at least compared to commercial software. IвЂ™m writing this post for two reasons: so that I can look up the solution I figured out if I have this problem again, and so that if when someone else runs into the same problem, maybe they will find this on Google and be saved some grief.
