hi,
I’m having problem with exporting, specifically when components overlapping on each other. Is there a trick to fix this? I can provide a test file if needed. Thanks.
This is how one of the glyph looks like.

can you send me the .glyphs file?

hi, yes. just sent you via message. thanks for checking it.
Do you expect the final result to be like it looks in the Edit View or how it looks in the Font View? The pixel component overlap heavily and you rely in specific winding rules to cancel out certain squares. The remove overlap aphorism is not cut out for multiple overlapping canceling shapes. I’ll have a look if that can be improved.
And when you build a pixel font like this you should use a much coarser grid. 50/2 (instead of 50/100).

I had a look. I don’t think I can improve the algorithm right now.
And you setup is producing outlines with wrong path direction. Open the exported font and check e.g. the “one.numr”. The bottom left part is OK, but the top right part is not (disable all glyphs that produce an error).
So for now, I can only advise to build the glyphs with a single, 25 unit square pixel (set the grid to 25/1; then you can use the pixel tool to draw the pixel.

thanks so much for all the explanation and tips! 
I will try and see what’s the best solution for my intended result. Really appreciate your help.
