Recently I've discovered the SVG Font Editor, built-in since version .47. I tried to use it for converting my old font project (simple svg outlines) into a more civilian (and usable) form. With the help of freeonlineconverter, I made it into an otf. Everything seemed to be just fine, though I lacked function like individual glyph width or autokerning, and I decided to play hardcore and do the kerning manually.

Unfortunately, each attempt of changing the kerning value for a pair containing a diacritic letter (one with an accent) resulted in an internal error popup, and the program being closed. Unsaved work was saved in its prior directory under its original name followed by date, about which the prompt informed as well. So that no information was lost. Except that by no means can I determine kerning for described pairs.

By the way, both font name and set width do not get saved in the file. When re-opened, it contains "font1" and "1024" again. That's really ...depressing.

In case it makes a difference, the accented glyphs were introduced by simply being typed in the "matching string" column. And they were Polish diacritics, I guess you won't display them but let's give it a try: ąćęłóńśźż ĄĆĘŁÓŃŚŹŻ. Well, ó and Ó are not only Polish characters (also Spanish or else, I think) and they wouldn't be corrupted if it mattered what 'extended latin set' they belong in.

The error doesn't occur with other "manually" inserted glyphs; for a try, I put a dot and it worked fine.

I hope you can help me out.
(PS Sorry for bed English!xD)

Hi Iorweth,

Could you add a link to the SVG font file? Maybe if I read the code I can get an idea what might be the problem. If you report this as a bug on the bugtracker list you may also get some more knowledgeable response. I never used the font editor myself as Inkscape can create, but not display SVG fonts (curious, but true), so the use cases for me are limited. Certainly a feature I miss though.
