Hello,
when you start to create a new font, it’s a good way to do this:
- Create guide lines with the name baseline, ascender and descender
- Create a black square, that is 70 % of your font size.
For more information about this, look here: I have created a font from a vector logo
scaling
- You can use the guide lines, make you letters in Illustrator correct and then put them again into font self.
- You can dopple click a glyph in fonself and than scale or move it.
template
- There is a font template in font self for latin letters, see Font template / specimen | Fontself Maker Help Center
- You can type all the letters you like to use/change of a font, that is under OFL (SIL Open Font License), than you can use my javascript ( https://www.behance.net/gallery/123822365/Javascript-for-Illustrator-Font-Outline-with-Names ) to convert the letter to path objects and the name of the letter will appear in the window “layers”.
Good luck,
– j.
