Current pangram preview is lacking.
Improved version will be an alternate viewport in place of the current unicode browser, allowing selection & editing of glyph from the currently displayed text.

When attempting to launch a third party program to edit svg files on macOS, the argument containing the path of the file is malformed.

It does not contain a leading "/" and contains quotes, so instead of being "/path.svg" it is ""path.svg"" which leads nowhere.

I did a (very) ugly fix to get it to open affinity on my machine, maybe it can help you pinpoint the problem.
The "SVG editor executables" field points to a shell script containing this :

#!/bin/bash
open "/"`echo $1 | sed s/\"//g`

I hope that I was clear enough it's been a while since my last bug report 😅

BTW your soft is absolutely awesome <3

Add an inspector that takes a blurb of text as input and run basic text analysis to find the most recurring ligature candidates, and easily create glyph entries from there.

Allow editing of multiple glyphs at the same time

Allow addition of instanced "component"-type of glyph inside other glyphs
i.e marks should be re-usable inside alongside unmarked glyphs in order to create composite glyphs, é = '+ e, ^ + e = ê...

I am currently working on making a font for a conlang.

Blue: Characters
Orange: Diacritics

I want to keep the range of characters in PUA, so when the font is used with normal texts, normal texts won't be affected.
This is one of the diacritics.

So how do I make a PUA unicode become a diacritic with mkfont?
How can I configure some specific OpenType features?
Is it possible to do within mkfont?

When adding or removing glyph while in dynamic unicode blocks (Glyphs, Ligatures, Components etc) reset the scroll position which is annoying.

The current list import doesn't allow to import a glyph unless its unicode code point is either manually set, or extrapolated from the filename. When working with icon fonts, this is a drag : it needs a way to import to a specified range instead of individual code points.

Maybe I'm missing something but should something happen? I'm running Windows 10, mkfont 1.2.0

Add a tool to easily create a nice-looking image showcasing all glyphs currently part of the font.
Example :

This should be using a canvas in order to be easily exported as an image.
Look into Canvas-Txt
