Sorry if I sound a bit daft, but how do I add a blank character for space? (Unless you're using the word "character" in the figurative sense, of course. :P)
In FontStructor: Menu>View>letter width. The letter width is a thicker green line right of any glyph you made, and 3px right of the blue vertical on the "space bar" glyph. Drag the line to about half your usual glyph width & check in 'preview' that it looks good.
About your first comment: there is no "daft" when we start. We all ask for advice as learning FS can get frustrating on one's own. FS functions, how to change the look of a font, using the "tools" others made save us time: all gets clearer with help ;)
Leturfræði is the Icelandic word for typography. I figured the name, having non-English characters, would fit the font's (somewhat) goal of supporting several languages while still keeping internal consistency.

Nice one, but I think the font lacks the space character. Try tweaking it :)

Sorry, I meant tweaking the space (or you can say width) of the space character

Thanks! I've sorted the space issue out.
EDIT: ...and the sample has me using the wrong form of F and J in two places. Ah well, you can't win everything.
Looks good... why does the Cyrillic и (if that's и) have such a sharp edge? i think it could be the same as Latin u. What do you think about this?
My first try at и was identical to Latin u, but I thought the bar could be moved higher up to make it more... и-y? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The sharp edge is a result of wanting contrast with н.\
now that i think about it i probably could've just made it identical and noöne would have noticed

i guess cyrillic и is like between u and reversed N
actually i think the и is great now :)
I think the + and - doesn't have to be that fancy
I'm curious about the font's name :) Where did it come from?

Now with IPA (and Greek) support!
Congrats on the tp
