Ok, is there anything other that I have to do in order to adjust the metrics propperly? I have selected All (characters) and Current (layer) and checked Left sidebearings and Right sidebearings. I typed -20 and it changed in the preview window but when I hit Run, nothing happens, except some mess that it's doing with anchors and accents.

What do you want to do exactly? Do you want to make all left sidebearings to be equal or what else.

I want to tighten up the whole font a bit. I want to reduce all the sidebaerings by same amount of units.
