Vertically centering glyphs
Fontforge doesn't currently have a way to vertically center glyphs - in the script I'm currently working with, all glyphs should be vertically centered, so this is very inconvenient. I saw that there was one open issue on this very topic - but the last activity was in 2016, so I don't think it'll get added anytime soon. Instead, I decided to spend some hours on tripping over my skills to read the documentation.
