There's always the last resort of ctl-C copy and a text editor?
Have you (or anyone here) actually tried Fontforge?
I had a go back in mid 2018, and then it seemed to be semi-abandoned,
full of bugs, poorly documented and possibly unworkable.
Or at least I fell off the 'learning cliff' and couldn't achieve what
I wanted. Admittedly the subject is extremely complicated, so maybe it
was just me and my 60+ year old brain.
Gave up on Fontforge and decided to buy a commercial font utility (with
real manuals) next time I have enough spare cash. (Which hasn't happened yet.)

I haven't done all that much with it, but yes, I've used it, and it seemed fine.

One problem with commercial tools is that they generally are for Windows, which I
don't want to use.
