Hi. im creating an agglutinate barbie conlang and want to create an sylabary or abugida for it such as you have. Would you tell me how you did your font and connect the vowel symbols with the consonants? Thank you :)

Thank you for your comment.

Here is how I did it:

First, I created the consonant letters with the spaces below them.

Then I created the vowel letters that fit into the spaces below them, and placed them one letter behind the baseline so that they overlap exactly with the previous consonants, connecting the consonants and the vowels.

Finally, I turned on expert mode and performed kerning to narrow the somewhat wide gaps that appear when the consonants follow the vowels.

I hope this is helpful.

Another solution is to change the width of the letters by dragging the width line. No kerning needed.

Thank you for letting me know, BWM. Kerning was a lot of work, so this is very helpful.
