The ability to import .PNG, Bitmp, and other transparent image types.
For some people, like my self, we may want to create entirely new letters with complex curves and symbols; therefore it would be nice to, say, draw the symbol on a piece of paper, scan it, edit it with a third-party "paint editor," then upload the resulting image into Glyphr. A three month font type, could be cut down to anywhere from fifteen minutes to a few hours. One imager, per letter/symbol/number.

The ability to add background image.
Say, you've drawn character on a piece of paper and want to make something similar in editor. It would be much easier to do stuff if you could drag and drop photo of the character to the background of the main content area and then be guided by it through out the work. Of course, you should be able to adjust it according to grid.

Create colored glyph (imported from a SVG file)
Hello,
this might be a duplicate, I am not very clear whether the suggestion I had has been transferred or not.
I am looking to add a colored glyph (I have an SVG file of my logotype icon) into my font. I think it would be a great addition, and if already possible, how can I do that?
I have some Emojis in my existing font, which I can't see, and when I import my SVG file, it appears all black and unreadable. I am planning to use the glyph to add the logo (always in the same color whatever…

"Lock Aspect Ratio" enabled by default, or enabled by shortcut
Currently, the "Lock Aspect Ratio" box is unchecked by default. But usually when moving or resizing shapes, it's very important to keep the aspect ratio locked. It would be great to have this enabled by default, or be able to temporarily engage it with a shortcut (Like holding shift as with Illustrator/Photoshop/etc).

Missing character glyph
Needs a way to designate/design missing character glyph to show when character is not yet created in font. For now all font I create in Glyphr represent missing characters as tall rectangles that sometimes are taller than text lines.

Single line fonts
Ability to make glyphs based on path stroke, not by using fill, as Single Line Font, export it in format similar to Rapahel cufon font, (it would be nice to have exported font gyphs having 0,0 coordinates at top, similar to svg image) I'm using adobe illustrator to design single line gyphs, then exporting them as svg, mapping to codePoint, and formatting them in json format for my use. It's a lot time consuming, iterative and irritative task. I would love to see your positive response on my idea.
Thank you )9 votes -
Paths with stroke thickness
Fonts don't support paths with stroke thickness, only fill. But, we could allow you to specify a path with stroke thickness, then when exporting a font, that path's stroke could be outlined to create a filled shape.
