Space character on Nodesto Caps Condensed is tiny
Unsure if this is a known issue or even just a me issue, but on MacOS 12.3.1 the Nodesto Caps Condensed font looks awesome aside from the minuscule space character. Even upping the word spacing to 250% results in titles with virtually no spacing between words.
No issues or warnings when installing the font, all four validate in Font Book (definitely not a font expert here).
Just a small update, I wanted to do my due diligence, so I went and tested this font in a number of apps on MacOS as well as Windows 10, with the same issue with the space character each time. Opening the font family in FontForge shows that the space character indeed is only a couple pixels wide.
Oh, gotcha! I’ll see what I can do, I’ve never edited a font before. Is FontForge the correct type of tool for the job?

I believe this is a bug in a newer version of the font. The version referenced on https://benlk.github.io/solbera-dnd-fonts/#nodesto does not have the issue.
Yeah @scottkuhl is right. It looks like the bug was introduced in 1.4. If I roll back to 1.3, it has the wrong name (which was fixed in #13), but the space character is correct.
I'm in the same boat as @graycastle, I've never worked on a font before, but if I diff the fonts in the FontForge tool they mentioned it's just showing the space character width being 20 instead of 508. Is it as simple as changing that value and exporting the font? I'm getting errors about the font being self-intersecting, not sure if that's related or not.
