Please, can somebody experienced explain to me what does this mean? Is it intentional like this, or is it a bug? Anyway it is confusing. Whenever I start drawing or paste new glyph, there is automatic gap for adjacent characters +1 tile width. Once I touch the character width line, not even moving it, this gap disappears. But in preview it cant be seen on this font, while on my other attempts it was visible.

I think you mean the green line on the right of your glyph. This is the "letter width" line and is automatically 1 pixel away from the glyph: it moves automatically when you change the width of a glyph. The 1 pixel wide gap makes sure the next glyph in a word won't sit directly on the edge of the previous one.

However, you can change yourself where the next glyph in a word will go. If youwnt a wider gap between letters you can either move the green line more to the right or you start each glyph the same distance away from the left blue line.

When you have made several glyphs you can look at them in the "preview" (the button above your design grid) and type a text to see how the words look. If you think that all letters are too close you can tell the program to space them wider apart: there is a box called "Spacing" and you can see how the distance between letters changes when you change de value from the normal "zero" setting to a larger number. A number below "zero" will approach all letters.

I found this explanation in the FAQ   and hope it helps :)

@Nightpegasus Thank you for reminding me that FAQ. I found there other useful info, but here I mean something different. Lets say I copy glyph R and paste it to the until then unused Я position and flip it horizontally. Now there is the green line one grid width away from the glyph contour and from the right side of the line is shown adjacent glyph also another one extra automatic gap away from the green line. If I drag the line as if I wanted to adjust the space, but then leave it in same place, the extra gap seen on adjacent glyph wanishes.

I mean touching the green line does not only adjust the original width and automatic gap inside the width, but also outside of it.

Ahhh, I see. Unfortunately I have to leave for a short while and can't try to replicate this, so I can't see what the problem might be. Maybe another Fontstructor is availabe to help you...
