What is the best way to transfer your letters from Illustrator to Fontlab?

Anyone know?

More seriously, you have tu put all your glyphs at the same place in illustrator on the bottom left of your page. The bottom of your page will be the base line in fontlab. Then you'll just have to copy and paste it in Fontlab.

Here is an example with the the glyphs "a" "b" and "q". I've colored them for readbility.

Do you find that the paths can sometimes come out a bit wonky when you copy and paste them?

wonky? please define...

wonky = crooked; off-center; askew.
Usually applied to technology.

I just copied and pasted from Google using "define:wonky" (without quotes)

hmmm... I can google that too, thanks.
I was asking a more precise description of the problem or a screenshot (even better), sorry if I wasn't clear...

Hello,

I have the same problem than you JeremyWoods.
When I copy paste in fontlab, my vectors are not exactly the same as in illustrator.
Did you find a solution ?

Thanks

(sorry, I know this post is 3 years old...)
