Why when i change the org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name the dots in the clock get moved down?
I'll try it in a moment i found this GitHub issue so i installed the adobe-source family font and the issue doesn't seem to be present. u/SomeGenericUsername was right, the problem was lying on the ratio glyph, that it seems to be supported only in Cantarell and adobe-source3 that i know of.

Looking for color font creator tools
All I what I saw are premium software. The only software I found at the lowest price is (FontBird)[https://birdfont.org/] = $10. But I don't know, I downloaded the free version (which doesn't support color fonts) and it seems to me that the software is not maintained well or glitchy!

How to create custom typeface for free
FontForge is the best free font editor right now, although there are some others in development. A great place to start learning is to read the Design with FontForge ebook, which will quickly teach you a lot of the basics that can be applied no matter which font editing software you're using. If you're struggling with FontForge, you can also try BirdFont which is a bit simpler.
