UPDATE April 1 2012 (NOT April Fools): Amended some kerning issues with the glottal stop and the consonant clusters. Redownload from this post.

I have to admit this: I'm addicted to FontForge. Perhaps you've heard or even used my Na'vi script, Famrel. However, it is very unsuitable for small sizes because there is basically not a single stroke which is perfectly horizontal or vertical. So, I improved upon this innovative alphasyllabary and came with something that looked far more simplistic (though not so beautiful) and worked just fine at 12pt. Here is a sample (try decoding it without downloading the font - the shapes are loosely based upon Famrel):

Font's in attachment and you need to encode your text the same way you do with Famrel. It would be terrific if 'Oma Tirea can make another chart!  ;)

Ngaytxoa. You write Na'vi very well. I misunderstood your proficiency. I was simply pointing out that I'm not recommending that you try to create the font in Illustrator. I'm simply reporting that it does not function properly/normally IN Illustrator. That is likely due to technical issues with the way the font is constructed.

There is nothing wrong at all with using FontForge. I don't have it personally, but I believe that that may have been what Kemaweyan used to assemble Eoio from my glyphs. You need closed paths with no overlap that have a consistent path direction. If the glyphs are not constructed that way, individual applications can misinterpret the font and cause odd behavior or simply refuse to work at all (which seems common in Microsoft Word on Windows). Illustrator is generally quite tolerant of "less than perfect" outline data in fonts, so I was a bit surprised that it cannot cope with FamrelaWin.

Also, is there supposed to be so much space after the tìFtang? Is that intentional?

Oh sorry it's a dumb workaround. The glottal stop runs into the next consonant (especially if it is a consonant cluster) if I don't put a big space after it. I'll fix it so that it comes at the bottom instead at the top - this way it wouldn't hit anything  ;)
