Hello Halbhand, welcome to this forum.
You can only open .otf which was made with fontself maker. all other font’s can’t be imported or opened by fontself.
But there is a trick:
- Type your Alphabet in Illustrator let’s say in 30 pt size.
- Place a guide line under the glyphs and name it baseline.
- Create a black filled square as dummy with the size 70 % of the font size, 0.7 * 30 = 21 pt.
- Select the text from step 1 and use my javascript »Font-Outline-with-Names« on it. It will make outlines of the letters AND keep the names.
- Open fontself maker ans click on NEW.
- Drag the guideline and the dummy first into the window of fontself.
- Drag the guideline and glyphs into the window of fontself.
Done. You will get your font in fontself to change kerning and so.
