I've run into a problem when making my fonts, and I could use some help either solving it or figuring out how to solve it.
I made my font and added all the glyphs, and now I have to change the kerning because, for example, the letter L is too far apart.
At first, I went to the Kerning tab and was able to add pairs and change them. Then I went back to the glyph tab and played with the Advance value.
After this, I went back to the Kerning tab, picked two Glyphs, and hit "Add Pair." Right after I get the "Internal Error" message and Inkscape closes.
I tried making a new file to replicate it. I can Add Pairs, up until I change the Advance value. Once I do that, Adding Pairs will cause a crash. This happens regardless of whether the Glyphs I add have had their Advance value changed or not.
I haven't been able to find help with this problem online, nor find a post in the forums referring to this. How can I go about fixing this, and what other info is needed. Thanks for the help! :)
I have not tried the Font Editor in years as I had a lot of crashing some years and versions ago. I probably should have reported the issues, but I did not because I had little or no knowledge of kerning at the time and I primarily create handwritten fonts and then have an easier case on the kerning part. I partly use FontForge (open source font editor) when it comes to details and mostly I get the results I want with just the right and left bearing that is quite easily done using the Custom Stroke Font extension which I highly recommend when creating fonts using Inkscape. Here you can read about how I use the Custom Stroke Font extension.
