when you remove the white ... it looks as if that's a part of the
original SVG font that was cleaned up later by Adam Frost.
Perhaps it was decided that areas covered by the white wouldn't
need any clean up.<br>

Good luck. Can you explain how it is getting the fillings
wrong? <br>

Yes, take for example S23001. Instead of <img alt="" id="e26b22ac-8093-45ca-827a-286b623a518a" height="26" width="25" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:part1.04070204.02050108@tampabay.rr.com"> I get
this <img alt="" id="2039a358-6c2d-4ff8-b5bd-476dcdc123c5" height="44" width="48" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:part2.05000403.06000207@tampabay.rr.com"> inside the font. I checked the svg and there actually
is a filling there. Inkscape shows it alright (white), but the
filesystem preview shows a grey area and fontforge, as you can
see, shows a black filling.<br>
<br>
If I edit the svg file and get rid of the white fillings (see diff
at the bottom[1]) then it works more or less as expected, for some
reason the shape is a bit distorted, but still readable: <img alt="" id="9965e38d-8684-4dce-8400-3edcf429cf07" height="40" width="39" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:part3.09020201.07060106@tampabay.rr.com">. Is
there a reason for those white fillings? I mean, would it be ok
to remove them all?<br>
