Is dafont submissions broken?

22.07.2025 um 10:09

There seems to be errors with submitting fonts these days. We have uploaded many over the past decade; however, no new submissions have worked over the past 2-3 years.

Originally, we received emails stating the following, although this does not seem to be correct and in more recent times, new submissions dont recieve any response at all.

1. Spacing or kerning problem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning
2. Font naming problem (missing in some fields, or not matching)
3. Space glyph unset, or too much small/large

In response to the problems listed above,

1. A lot of our fonts are graffiti style. For these fonts to look right when they are in use, the kerning needs to somewhat overlap, this is intentional and the font would not look right without this.
2. If anyone can provide more information on this, we would appreciate it.
3. The space glyph is definitely set. We have tried variations where we copied and pasted the exact space glyph from default fonts on a computer just to test if this was the problem.

We have even tried uploading the vector artwork into Calligraphr (the online font builder tool) so it can generate it in a different way to our native process however this has not worked either.

We would have made 100s more fonts by now if dafont didnt have these issues!

I have noticed 200 new fonts accepted today and 75 new fonts 7 days ago, any advice on how long the review process takes at the moment? Is there a large backlog?

Is the review time still 6 months as it were during the peak of the pandemic?

I'm sorry to say it's a bit more than that at the moment, and that your font hasn't been reviewed yet.
