Make your vertical guide first, UNLOCK the guides, then copy your pages. Have your page selected when you make the guides and they will only show on the page. Also, you should use the align and distribute tools. I'm pulling my hair out watching this!

[@danielxmiller]

This was incredible! Thank you so much!!!

[@techruzz]

You're so welcome!

[@mbrombert]

Very nice video, great help. I wonder if you can help with an issue I had though. After installing the font it works in Word but not in Illustrator - when validating it did give some issues but I ignored them. Do you know what it may be? Or is to too broad to know without looking at it? Thanks!

Glad to hear that!

[@Ancha157]

Hello, I wonder why you have that space on the left side and align letters to the left.

[@inastudio6721]

Thank youuuu !

[@techruzz]

Thank you too!

[@1youngshine534]

Great tutorial thanks so much! Can I move my ascender line and mean line down within the 1000px artboard? My letters wouldn't all fit within the artboard with the guidelines set up like yours.
P.S.
I notice in your definitions it shows that ascent is just the height above the mean line but when you set up fontforge you say ascent plus descent equals 1000.

[@isaacmancilla6753]

For the horizontal kerning section, are there any specific characters that require it or it all depends on the design?

[@fatimahazzahra323]

I had a technical problem with the quotation marks. They appeared as default font when I tried it out... meanwhile the rest of the characters worked just fine, anyone know why and what should I do?

[@avocado6361]

thanks a lot!

[@techruzz]

No worries!

[@boyisun]

Thanks for the tutorial! Do you know how one can add other non-latin alphabets into FontForge? For example, if I want to create a font for one of the Chinese characters or one of the Greek letters, how can I add it into FontForge?

[@aitor.online]

you simply have to scroll further down lol. the chinese and jpaanese characters are a lot further down

[@allayarprimov3896]

[@techruzz]

I want to learn how to design a font from zero and sell it. Can you make a video?

[@nekokenID]

Bro, why is my font when I put a space, the character changes to a white square character? Do I have to fill in the space glyph in FontForge?

[@techruzz]

Hi, it's shown at 27:40 (Adjusting the space between words in FontForge)

[@nekokenID]

Ok bro, thank you so much, this is very helpful 🙏🙏🙏

How to make bangla font in fontforge?

[@mi_game25]

@techruzz how to make center align in 25:45?

[@okankulga8631]

Hi, I also wonder how you centered all at once???

[@c2757]

A tutorial is something other than letting viewers watch a cursor flipping around on the screen while you play the piano. It kind of involves 'tutoring' - i.e. explaining what you're doing/what is happening. Nice music tho'.
