I'm hoping there are other designers in this community who use FontForge and can help with this issue. There's just a Github site for submitting "issues," which are mainly bug reports and feature requests.
I am guessing that the kerning values I did in FontForge are not in the font at all (which explains why they are not present in Inkscape), and maybe OpenOffice is trying to compensate by doing a really bad job at auto-kerning.Ī downside of using FontForge is that I can't seem to find any kind of help community for amateurs to figure things out. The larger the point size, the more condensed it is it's annoying at 12pt, but unreadable at 24pt and above. Most embroidery fonts use satin columns because they look best for this purpose. But it is a good starting point to learn digitizing essentials. Some fonts, despite being installed and showing up not as shortcuts in the Fonts folder, just don't appear in Inkscape's font list for some reason (the non-family ones are simply missing from the list, sometimes some weights of a family are displayed weirdly and choosing them doesn't work). Creating fonts in embroidery design isn’t the easiest task. I'm on windows 7 and this problem is frustrating. If I type in OpenOffice Writer, the application automatically shoves the characters way too close together. It seems that if inkscape is called (via PHP's exec) inside an Apache process, it cannot find the fonts it needs to render. If I type in Inkscape (a vector image application), no kerning happens at all. Now I have generated the font file, and the kerning info seems to be lost altogether. I've designed a font with a full set of glyphs and spent countless hours on kerning to make it lovely. So I'm an amateur font designer, using FontForge.
