Guide title
First font in FontForge: what the official tutorial pages say, from first glyph to generating the font
Coverage
For designers making a first font from their own glyph designs. It arranges what five FontForge tutorial pages say about creating a font, drawing outlines, keeping stems consistent, spacing, kerning, checking and generating. Based on the documentation only; nothing was installed, run or generated.
Useful starting points
- Run the built-in problem check on all glyphs, but expect that not everything it reports is a real fault.
- A file saved in FontForge's own format is not a usable font until you generate it in a standard font format.
- Judge a glyph's spacing while viewing it next to other glyphs, not on its own.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
