Glyph Sizes in FontForge SVG Importing

I created a set of svg glyphs for a fo开发者_StackOverflow中文版nt I am building, in Inkscape. They look fine in Inkscape, and fill the full canvas. But when I import them into FontForge, they appear tiny - around 1/10th of the size they should take up.

Can anyone explain why this is happening, and what I can do to fix it?

This happens because your artboard in inkscape has many more units than the font's cartesian grid space.

1. Open Inkscape
2. From the File menu, select Document Properties.
3. Set units to pixels (px) and document dimensions to 1000 x 1000, click OK
4. Set a horizontal guide at 200px
5. Draw a glyph – the hardest part! :-)
6. Save the drawing as an SVG
7. Open FontForge
8. From the File menu, select Import, chose SVG, find your drawing, click OK

Inkscape now has a template, 'FontForge Glyph' that should make this more convenient.

There are some bugs in the FontForge.This is a way to solve it.
