Hello everyone! Sorry my english is a little bit rusty..So I have a huge issue with fontforge and it is really urgent to find a solution:
I have created my font in illustrator and imported it in fontforge, everything seemed all right, but when I generated my font in .TTC, I realized that my letters are not always at the right distance of one another..my other problem is that every time I hit space-bar I get a rectangle and i have spent hours trying to change these issues and searched on the internet, but I still can‘t figure it out..Could someone help me please?

The answers are in the user manual so do not hesitate to start reading. Check for 'space' and 'advance width'.

Create a glyph 'space' (32 0x20 U+0020 'space').

Where do I do this?

I started to follow the instructions found on this site http://en.flossmanuals.net/fontforge/spacing-metrics-and-kerning/ ( I started to search and fix problems) and the outcome was that I lost parts of my letters ..:(

Did anyone say kerning? Read this: Advance width.

In glyph creation.

RTFRMF!! Frog!

Tu as les 'Kerning individual pairs' et les 'Kerning with classes'.
Les 'Kerning individual pairs' sont les approches dite oridinaire.
Les 'Kerning with classes' sont pour les OpenTypes, c'est un peu plus complexe.

I‘m not a typographer, im just trying to use this program for a project, obviously I dont know how to use it and where to find stuff.. :/ Thanks for trying to help but I dont find anywhere "glyph" création..

Ah cool tu parles en français ^^ c‘est plus simple comme ça. Merci pour ton aide, je vais essayer Kerning individual pairs

Kerning all individual character combinations is one of the most time consuming parts of creating font. Much better, in all cases, is to set the advance width for each character correctly. You might understand that the left and right advance widths for an A and a V and an L or T will be different from an H or Z. Having done that you will need far less kerning pairs mainly concerned with A, V, L, T and the like. Are you still there?

Yess! Thank you!

Try insert ...

ok, so I succesfully did the "kerning " part thanks to you guys now could you please explain me step by step how do i get rid of the rectangle? (I‘m a bit slow and still don‘t get it..) I understand that I have to create a new glyph , but how and where do I put it?

oh thanks a lot!

what should I put in this "space" gylph ?

Pour définir l'espace entre les mots et si tu mets rien c'est le '.notdef glyph ' qui va prendre la place.




The .notdef glyph is very important for providing the user feedback that a glyph is not found in the font. This glyph should not be left without an outline as the user will only see what looks like a space if a glyph is missing and not be aware of the active font's limitation.
