No problem for genuine legitimate work like this, but anyone tempted by the fact that in theory copyrighted fonts can be imported and editted using FontForge should double-check their FAQ first.

Make sure that 'Weight' says something meaningful that doesn't clash with your existing fonts (e.g.You want to change Family Name so that all variants have the same family name (in Aller example, Aller Light and and Aller Light Italic have family name Aller Light, change this to Aller).(I remember experiencing a lot of crashes the few times I foolishly tried working on the installed files in system folders.) Best to work on files that aren't installed and aren't in use.Aller is a quite nice smooth friendly sans, but beware the hideous 'Display' variant, which will burn your eyes. ![]()
