I am a novice type designer, but here is what I have made so far: Text is from War of the Worlds book.
Is there anything wrong that anyone can tell me about. I had trouble with some spacing/kerning, but I managed to make it not so horrible. I am very unfamiliar with what FCP has to offer, but playing around with the settings at random helped.
I would have posted the .ttf files for a better critique, but I don't want anyone stealing my fonts.
5 fonts of mine. Any input would be great.

A few comments, a sample full alphabet would be useful to see if the design is consistent throughout.
Times New Rhombus Looks fine to me.
lower-optic fibre "a" looks too much like a "d" "f" looks like "F". Hyphen could do with being a little shorter with more space either side or a little lower.
Electric Pencil Spacing needs some work. The space character is too wide. See my post in this thread for a tip on getting spacing right with scripts.
