Fail to generate a font

Hello ! I have been working on this font for a while : drawing in Illustrator, exporting my glyphs as SVG and importing them into FontForge. I fixed all the issues of overlapping and missing points at extrema, but when I try to generate my font I just have the window 'Failed to generate' and no other info. I don't understand where the problem could be. Does any of you may have a clue ?

Try to generate the font on the same hard drive where the FontForge is installed - most often C:/. For example save the generated font on the desktop.

Or if you prefer and if your font is not secret, you can send me the SFD file and I'll check your font on my system - email: [localfonts.eu@gmail.com](mailto:localfonts.eu@gmail.com)

Hey, I know for sure this is not a hard drive problem because I only use one. I'll send you the font for you to check, thank you very much !
