# Troubleshoot

Common problems creating fonts

### *<mark style="color:yellow;">Unable to Create Characters</mark>*

*Unfortunately, characters in some fonts sometimes have overlapping/lose points. They don't usually cause issues with 2D fonts but can cause problems with the character generation of the asset.* \
\
*It is a hassle to clear them up all manually but sometimes, just opening them up in FontForge and exporting them causes font forge to use the right tables and fix common mistakes.*\
\
*How to:* <https://ferdowsur.gitbook.io/modular-3d-text/fonts/creating-fonts#convert-to-ttf-file>

### *<mark style="color:yellow;">Where to Get Fonts?</mark>*

*Anywhere they provide a TTF File. Otherwise, you can* [*convert the font file to TTF format*](https://ferdowsur.gitbook.io/modular-3d-text/text/fonts/creating-fonts#convert-to-ttf-file)*.*

*You can usually find a good selection of fonts from Google's font library:* [*Google fonts*](https://fonts.google.com/)

### *<mark style="color:yellow;">Font Spacing is Messed Up</mark>*

*The asset uses the 'advance' table to calculate the spacing. If for some reason some character's spacing is messed up because they aren't in the right table, generate a new TTF file from Font Forge. It will most likely automatically put everything in the correct tables and takes about a minute to do.*\

###

### *<mark style="color:yellow;">No kerning found</mark>*

*The asset uses the 'kern' table to get the kerning information. If your font has kerning information but, not on that table, it might be missing.*&#x20;

*To fix it, generate a new TTF file from Font Forge following the instructions here:* [*https://ferdowsur.gitbook.io/modular-3d-text/fonts/creating-fonts#convert-to-ttf-file*](https://ferdowsur.gitbook.io/modular-3d-text/fonts/creating-fonts#convert-to-ttf-file)\
*But, when generating font, make sure to enable 'kern' by clicking options as shown in step 5 and 6.*

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://ferdowsur.gitbook.io/modular-3d-text/text/fonts/creating-fonts/troubleshoot.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
