I've just started using the SVG Font Editor and I've encountered two issues that might be bugs. Every time I follow the steps below, the applications throws a pop-up without text and then closes, auto-saving a svg file.
open file in attachment
open the SVG Font Editor and select font 0. if you don't see font 0, then click 'New' and the existing font will appear with the new one -> this is issue number 1, the font is not immediately visible. if you change the font name, this is not remembered when you reopen the file)
go to tab Kerning
select a 1st and 2nd glyph and click Add Pair -> this is issue 2, though the pop-up and crash can occur at different steps :
sometimes the application crashes right here
if it doesn't crash, select the pair and adjust the Kerning value
if it still doesn't crash, now try typing a sample text
after the crash, an autosaved file is added to the folder where your original file was saved, so no work is lost.
