Fixed a few issues with the font for Hakum. Had bad kerning between n & l (the word only comes up a LOT haha~), also moved the apostrophe, hyphen and plus sign higher :neofox_cool:

Font is still not 100% perfect, I fix it when I have time. I'd also really like to add glyphs for french(é è ê) at some point ^^

an image showing some tests for a font I made with the test words reading as: 2+1=3, cafe-a-l'eau, You're happy, I'm happy and only only own-leee. There's also a small preview of the kerning fix between the letters n and l on an image of the comic.

@rek thanks a lot! My girlfriend uses FontForge too but looks very unstable on her PC.

I am really glad that I kept notes on font-making, because it's been a while since I've made this, and when opening FontForge again I couldn't remember where to go to fix the kerning ^^;...
Keeping notes is so damn valuable, it saves me a lot of time and headaches.
