There is no need to add an ogonek to the long-tailed g, it only needs to be added to vowels. :D Adding accents to script fonts is quite a challenge. Almost every letter is a special case. It helps a lot to add low profile accents to the font. Then you can have different accent designs for lowercase ...

My first guess is that the problem is with the Postscript names that you're using. I think they are not permitted to contain spaces.

From the Format menu, Post, try Force Valid Names.

I think there is a viable way to do this. Experiment on a small font first. Create a new font Select all, and delete all of the glyphs Use insert characters to add empty glyphs with the mappings that you want from a text file of code-points, e.g. 97,99,101 to add a, c, e Select all and copy, making ...

For example?

I wonder how useful it would be unless one could edit the kerning pairs? FontCreator can do this.

Your question is unclear. What are you trying to achieve? Is this normal text, or some mapping symbols? The x,y origin of a glyph is the cursor position to the left of the character on the baseline. If you rotate any character, it will rotate about the origin. I think you want to position the centre...
