I made a font...

So I made my first proper font; Avio Sans. I've made a few fonts before but they were never released and were really shitty.

I'm a huge fan of the Inter font by Rasmus Andersson and Apple's SF Pro Display, so I kind of merged them together and made them have a baby. At least that's what I tried to do.

I'm also thinking about making a rounded version of Avio Sans, similar to SF Pro Rounded.

You can read more about this font here: https://aviosans.lerbb.com/ (the official website for it as of right now). P.S. the font is hosted on Cloudflare, so it's super speedy and probably cached near you! But you're more than free to host it yourself.

Kerning from metrics window doesn't save to lookup table

Couldn't find this issue anywhere else online. I already made many many kerning adjustments in the metrics window so I'd rather not have to redo all that in the lookup table. Any help is very appreciated

How do I make characters with a consistent weight?

I'm making my first font and I cannot seem to be able to make characters with a consistent size using inkscape and then sending it to font forge (even though they look like the same weight and height, once I put it on forge forge they aren't anymore. Also, for some reason, I cannot make the descending or ascending line bigger like I was able to months ago. Could you help me with this?

Exporting issues ?

Hello, I am trying to create my own font but Im running into an issue which I cant solve. This is what Ive done so far :

Uploaded each letter as svg file

Fixed all issues

Encoded all

Clicked on otf when trying to export

But when I open the otf file, the only letter displayed correctly is t. I cant seem to understand why is t is the only letter that was exported. There were no problems that needed to be fixed when exporting.

Does anyone have advice? Thank youuu

Asking for help : Make the features work online

Hey there!
So I've finally just finished to do my conlang, I'm proud of me and it works on LibreOffice or Word… but rip it doesn't work online like on https://aligner.tinygods.dev/?data=q1YqU7IyqgUA. Fontdrop says yeah it contains contextual substitutions but doesn't do anything…

I use 1 liga, 1 (big) rlig (76 subtables), 1 kerning all both in DFLT and latn.

Could someone help me manage it or just directly tell me it will never be possible? Thanks ^^"
